About My Clients

Feeling stuck in a rut? Anxious about... well, most things? Struggling to connect with others or even yourself? You're not alone. Life can feel overwhelming, and it’s okay to need support. You don’t have to wait to talk to someone who gets it. Therapy can offer a space to not only explore and make sense of what you're going through but also to develop practical tools that help you respond in ways that feel more grounded, empowered, and true to you.

My Background and Approach

I believe you are the expert of your own life, and that’s why I take a collaborative approach to therapy. My clinical contributions will integrate evidence-based approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), & Psychodynamic Therapy. The specific approach we take will be guided by your needs, goals, & pace.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Starting therapy can feel intimidating — even nerve-racking — but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or ready for something gradual to shift, I’m here. When you're ready, I’d be honored to support you in taking that next step. Why not start with a free 15-minute introductory call?
