My Approach to Therapy

I work with adults who are seeking thoughtful, goal-oriented, and lasting change—whether in their relationships, personal growth, or professional lives. My clients value a therapeutic space that is both practical and compassionate, where they can safely explore challenges and move toward greater clarity, confidence, and connection. In our work together, clients have made meaningful progress in areas such as: Self-Development: Exploring identity and sexuality, building confidence, developing self-compassion, and learning to process emotions more effectively Relationships: Navigating dating, setting healthy boundaries, improving communication, and managing complex or difficult interpersonal dynamics Anxiety: Gaining insight into the roots of anxiety, developing coping strategies, and using practical tools to reduce its impact Career: Balancing high-responsibility roles, exploring career transitions, and finding alignment between work and well-being In addition to my work with adults, I have extensive experience supporting teens and individuals facing challenges with substance use or misuse. My approach to therapy is collaborative and grounded. I aim to build a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship in a nonjudgmental environment. I follow your lead, offer insight and direction when helpful, and work with you to identify the path forward that feels right. Life can feel tangled and overwhelming at times—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. If you’re ready to invest in yourself with the support of a professional who genuinely cares, I’d be honored to work with you. I offer in-person and virtual sessions. If you feel ready to begin, I invite you to reach out and schedule a free introductory call.

My Practice & Services

I integrate Mindfulness-Based practices with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients observe their thoughts and emotions without judgment. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which supports clients in identifying what’s outside their control and focusing on what they can meaningfully influence. Many clients also find Self-Compassion work deeply beneficial in fostering resilience and emotional well-being.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

Becoming a therapist has felt like a calling from a young age. I?ve long been the go-to person for friends and family, and my intuition, sensitivity, and calm presence have shaped my ability to support others through life?s challenges. I deeply value building meaningful therapeutic relationships and feel fulfilled knowing I?ve helped someone shift or grow. I hope to do this work for many years to come.
