Hello – I’m glad 

you’re here.

All of us struggle at different points in our life—from anxiety, stress or unexpected challenges.

Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to go through it alone.

Through individual therapy,
I offer a supportive space to help you find clarity, work through challenges, and gain a fresh perspective.

I enjoy helping clients explore the stories and patterns that keep them feeling stuck, and support them in making new choices that open the door to growth and lasting change.

I work with individuals and families facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting, major life transitions, grief, and loss.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. I blend practical, evidence-based strategies with a personalized therapy experience—drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—to help you navigate difficult thoughts and emotions with greater flexibility and resilience.

My goal is to help you better understand yourself, clarify what truly matters, and build lasting skills you can carry with you—so you can move through life with greater confidence, vitality, and a deeper sense of well-being.

  • I specialize in helping people navigate:

    ​
