Reaching out for support can truly be the scariest part, I am so happy you're here. Whether you are feeling constant anxiety or depression, overwhelm from school stress, navigating a life transition or breakup, or looking to heal your relationship with your body, I am here for you. I am a person-focused therapist who simply meets you "where you are." My goal is to create a welcoming, safe, and healing space to help you get back to feeling like your best self. I strive for therapy to feel like a big "exhale" in your week and a place to you can show up exactly as you feel.
I find joy in working with teens, college students, and young adults alike. I am strengths-based and often utilize a cognitive behavioral and mindfulness centered approach. I lead first with empathy and compassion, and work individually with each client to create a therapeutic alliance to best achieve their unique goals.
I would be honored to work with you and walk alongside of you in getting you back to "you." It is my best hope for therapy to feel like a place to look forward to. We will work collaboratively through your experiences while strengthening self-compassion, insight, and healthy coping skills.
