Introduction

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. You may be feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, trying to make sense of painful past experiences, or seeking new ways to cope with life stressors. Anxiety or depression may be making it hard to feel like yourself. You might be navigating a major life transition, exploring your identity, or simply longing for a space where you can be understood without judgment. If you can relate, this might be the space for you. I deeply value working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and identities. I have experience supporting those healing from domestic violence, sexual assault, and toxic relationships, as well as those navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I am especially passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse individuals. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your emotions and experiences at your own pace. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and I am here to walk alongside you with compassion and encouragement as you move toward growth and healing. My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help you understand patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical coping skills. I take an eclectic, collaborative approach, tailoring therapy to your unique needs and goals so that our work together feels supportive and empowering.
