Therapist

My approach to therapy is compassionate, and empowering. I believe meaningful change happens when my clients feel genuinely heard and supported in a safe, nonjudgmental space. My style is warm, authentic, and practical, I listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and work with you to identify patterns, build on strengths, and create sustainable change.

I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strengths-Based practices. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, whether that means addressing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or navigating major life transitions.

Clients often describe me as calm, approachable, and insightful. I see therapy as a partnership, one where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace. My goal is to help you gain clarity, confidence, and balance so you can move forward with greater peace and purpose.

Therapist

Because of my past personal and professional experience, I typically work with people who are "finding themselves," which can occur at any age, especially after a big change or loss or life event. I specialize in grief, bereavement, sexuality, and spirituality, and often my clients have some sort of religious background or are artists/makers/creatives. I work really well with sensitive men, strong women, and people who feel stuck or misunderstood.

Therapist

You might look like you have it all together on the outside - but internally, your mind doesn’t slow down. You overthink, second-guess yourself, and feel overwhelmed trying to keep up with everything. Even when you’re doing “well,” it can still feel exhausting behind the scenes.

I specialize in working with high-functioning women navigating anxiety and ADHD. I have extensive experience supporting clients who are used to pushing through, but are starting to realize that what used to work just isn’t sustainable anymore.

In our work together, we’ll slow things down and make sense of the patterns that keep you stuck, even when you know what you ‘should’ be doing. We’ll build practical tools that actually work for your brain, so you can feel more grounded, clear, and in control day-to-day.

You don’t have to keep pushing through on your own. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or just tired of managing everything by yourself, we can figure it out together. If this resonates, you can reach out for a free 15-minute consultation or book a session when you’re ready.
