About My Clients

I specialize in strengths-based therapy for young adults, adults, and couples. I help individuals navigate life transitions, burnout, anxiety, and trauma with warmth and empathy. I seek to help clients understand their patterns and behaviors as it relates to their emotions and life experiences.

My Background and Approach

Together, we will identify the approaches and techniques that work best for you. We'll explore what brought you to therapy and the goals you want to achieve. From there, we'll delve into patterns, underlying issues, and the ways your emotions influence your actions and experiences. Our focus will be on supporting you in becoming the best version of yourself. I often have same week or following week availability!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Life can feel overwhelming, and seeking support takes courage. I’m here to offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your concerns. And often, societal and political factors play a significant role in shaping our experiences, challenges, and sense of self. I understand how these external pressures can impact your well-being, and together we can navigate these influences while focusing on your strengths and goals.
