Do life’s challenges feel all-consuming? Or maybe how you've been coping just isn’t working anymore? I get it. Anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, and transition can feel overwhelming or impossible to navigate. I approach the therapeutic relationship as a fellow human, showing up with warmth, affirmation, and support. I fully believe that YOU are the expert in your own life, and I aim to uplift and celebrate your unique strengths while accounting for the identities and systems that impact your world. We will work in collaboration to establish openness and safety as you build towards greater healing.

My work with clients is a deeply humbling experience, as I’m aware your decision to seek support communicates courage and trust. Every person has their own set of strengths that can be used to assist in the healing process. My goal is to facilitate a space where you can be your authentic self and feel empowered to tackle stressful life events. Whether experiencing depression, struggling with anxiety or needing support with significant transitions, I will collaborate with you to face these challenges at your own pace.

I view concerns that bring people to therapy as part of the larger system that is being a human - my core therapeutic modality is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, because our thoughts truly influence how we feel and what we do.

I incorporate a Person-Centered Approach into every session.
