Deciding to start therapy takes courage, and finding the right therapist is one of the most important parts of the process. I want to make that decision a little easier by telling you a bit about who I am and how I work.

I've been in private practice for almost 20 years, and over that time I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of people — from children and adolescents navigating the challenges of growing up, to adults facing the pressures of relationships, career transitions, grief, anxiety, and everything in between. That breadth of experience has shaped me into a therapist who is adaptable, attuned, and genuinely invested in the unique needs of each person who walks through my door.

Over the course of my career, I've worked in a variety of clinical settings before establishing my private practice — and those experiences gave me a well-rounded foundation that I draw from every single day. I've seen firsthand that people come to therapy with different backgrounds, different comfort levels, and very different goals. That's not a challenge — it's something I genuinely love about this work. No two clients are the same, and I never treat them as if they are.

Whether you're dealing with something acute and overwhelming, or a quieter, longer-standing struggle you've never quite been able to shake, I'm here to help you make sense of it and move through it in a way that actually works for your life.

Clients should know that I am a dedicated and compassionate mental health professional committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for healing and growth. With expertise in psychotherapy, neurodivergence, trauma, and vocational rehabilitation, I take a holistic and client-centered approach, tailoring each session to individual needs.

I believe in empowering clients by helping them develop self-awareness, resilience, and practical coping strategies. My work is rooted in evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). I am especially passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals, the LGBTQIA+ community, and those facing life transitions, trauma, or career challenges.

Above all, I value authenticity, collaboration, and creating a non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported on their journey toward mental wellness.

I have been working in the mental health field for many years and have had the privilege of supporting individuals through many of life’s challenges. Over time, I have seen firsthand the stressors and unexpected difficulties that life can bring. While we cannot always prevent these challenges—because life will continue to be life—we can learn healthier ways to cope, grow, and move forward.

My role is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, develop practical tools, and gain insight into the patterns that may be affecting your well-being. I am here to offer guidance, encouragement, and support as we work together toward your goals and toward creating a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and manageable.
