I’m a compassionate, client-centered therapist who believes therapy is most effective when it feels safe, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to support children, adolescents, adults, families, and college students navigating a wide range of emotional and life challenges. My clinical experience includes working with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, stress, self-esteem, eating concerns, family dynamics, and other challenges that can impact daily life. I have a particular interest in supporting individuals through periods of transition and helping clients develop a stronger understanding of themselves and their needs. My approach integrates evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and other individualized interventions. I also value the importance of understanding each client’s unique background, culture, experiences, strengths, and values. My goal is to create a welcoming space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes. I view therapy as a partnership, and I meet each client where they are while helping them move toward where they want to be.

Life doesn’t always go as planned. Illness, loss, and life changes can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsure of who you are now. I specialize in working with adults coping with anxiety, grief, life transitions and adjustment, including the emotional toll that often comes with complex or ongoing challenges. Whether you're adjusting to a diagnosis, processing a loss, or struggling with the direction your life is headed, therapy can help you find your way forward. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you—building coping skills, reconnecting with your values, and moving forward in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable. My approach is grounded in evidence-based care and guided by a holistic, nature-informed perspective. I integrate mindfulness, compassion, and practical strategies to support you in your day-to-day life. Sessions may be structured and skills-focused at times, or more reflective when you need space to process and make sense of your experiences. I work from a humanistic, strengths-based lens and strive to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you navigate change and reconnect with yourself.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
