I'm passionate about helping people through life’s toughest moments—whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or healing from something painful. If that sounds like you, we may be a great fit.

Therapist

Therapy with me is a space where you can be honest about what is happening in your life without feeling judged or expected to have everything figured out before you schedule your first session. I have experience working with individuals and families during some of the most difficult periods of their lives. Those experiences have taught me that people are often doing the best they can with the tools, experiences, and circumstances they have at the time. I believe therapy should be collaborative. I am not here to tell you how you should feel or simply give you advice. I want to understand your experiences, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and help you develop practical ways to cope, communicate, set boundaries, process difficult experiences, and move forward. I also believe that progress does not always look like feeling better immediately. Sometimes progress is understanding why you respond the way you do, recognizing a pattern, becoming more comfortable setting a boundary, learning to tolerate an uncomfortable emotion, or finally addressing something you have been avoiding. You do not have to come to therapy with a perfectly defined goal. We can figure that out together.
