Using a person-centered approach, I value being authentic, compassionate and realistic with you.
Are you struggling with adjusting to change, coping with stress or navigating conflict? As a result, has this left you feeling overwhelmed or anxious? Has shame, guilt or negative self-talk been impacting you? Do you need help creating boundaries with your partner, family, or friends? As a therapist, I believe in the saying, “you can’t pour from an empty cup.” My role is to help you explore areas of concern, develop coping skills, and gain insight about yourself. A primary focus of my practice is teaching self-compassion to help fill up your cup when life is feeling too difficult to navigate on your own.

​ I use a variety of different types of therapy, but the core of my work is based on Person-Centered therapy.
I am interested in the challenges and advantages of what it means to be highly sensitive or an empath. As a therapist, I am drawn to those who tend to struggle with issues like depression, life transitions/change, worry, anxiety, perfectionism, rumination, social anxiety, self-doubt, shame, and feelings of meaninglessness. I am here to help you through your challenges and provide support. My approach is to non-judgmentally understand what drives the behaviors that seem so difficult to change. I am dedicated to establishing an authentic, intentional, and trusting relationship.

I work with adults grappling with challenges, especially people who are sensitive and wonder why things feel so hard for them when it seems easy for everyone else. People who tend to overthink, analyze, plan, or deal with mental and physical effects of anxiety. My clients often describe knowing things on a logical level, yet feeling powerless to find relief in daily life. Those two can identify with the feeling of putting everyone’s needs before your own and still not feeling good enough. Anyone going through a change point in life with career, education, family, or physical changes like menopause or medical conditions.

People seek out therapy for a wide variety of reasons. Sometimes, the issues they are struggling with start out minor and they want help before the issues become too difficult. On other occasions, the problems have become unmanageable and dealing with them alone becomes too daunting. Some of those personal issues include anxiety, depression, stress at home, school and/or work, emotional dysregulation, among others. Therapy can help get a handle on any of those issues to help people carry on with every day living in a more productive fashion.
