I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re not quite sure where to begin or how to put what you’re feeling into words. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are and feel comfortable being yourself.

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the general feeling of being stuck or overwhelmed. I especially enjoy working with young adults who are trying to figure out who they are, what they want, and how to navigate all the changes that come with adulthood.
