I wanted to be a therapist because I’m drawn to understanding people deeply and helping them feel seen, heard, and supported. I’ve always been curious about human behavior and how people heal and grow through connection. Being a therapist allows me to offer a safe space for others to explore themselves, work through pain, and move toward meaningful change. It’s meaningful work that aligns with my values of empathy, authenticity, and compassion. Helping others navigate their inner world feels lik...

Adjusting to life changes and managing stress can seem overwhelming at times. If you experience anxiety, depression, other mental health symptoms, or just life changes you're familiar with the desire to find stability and ways to cope. It could be a change in job, or managing stress from work, strain in a relationship with a partner or family members, recent grief and loss, feelings of worthlessness, feeling on edge, or looking for a tune up after life events. I believe therapy offers a space t...

My goal is for you to leave each session feeling more grounded, empowered, and confiden...
I invite you to start where you’re at - what do you notice? This is the beginning of awareness, and change doesn’t happen without it. Sometimes noticing brings up difficult thoughts and feelings. That’s okay. In therapy together, we’ll practice how to pay attention to these responses with curiosity and openness. In the process, your authentic self will have the opportunity to unfold. Maybe we’ll find that there are many different parts within you, each with their own wants and needs. We’ll c...

Exhausted by the way you think about yourself? We are often (if not always) our own worst enemies. Whether this pattern has caused you problems with guilt, shame, anxiety, depression, addiction or you name it - the starting point is generally the same. When we embark on the project of therapy you will be asked to put your painful thoughts and feelings into words. As the process unfolds, the strength and fervor used to overthink and condemn yourself will become accessible to use productively i...
