Virtual & in-person

310 Marlboro Street, Keene, NH

Welcome! I work with individuals seeking support, clarity, and meaningful change. I believe therapy should be a collaborative and supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.

I specialize in working with clients experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, and trauma. My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to each person’s unique experiences and goals.

I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, strengthen self-awareness, and build skills that support resilience and well-being.

Whether you're navigating a challenging time or looking for personal growth, I would be honored to work with you.
