About My Clients

I specialize in working with adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence, and relationship challenges—whether with romantic partners, family, friends, or colleagues. Together, we’ll work to understand patterns, heal emotional wounds, and build healthy boundaries so you can move through life with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

My Background and Approach

I’ve worked in the mental health field for many years across a variety of settings, including hospitals, outpatient care, and now private practice. Much of my experience comes from working in a hospital environment where I provided crisis behavioral health assessments to determine safety and level of care. That work sharpened my clinical instincts, deepened my understanding of mental health diagnoses, and reinforced my commitment to providing thoughtful, individualized care. I now work exclusively with adults, and I welcome clients of all backgrounds and identities. I commonly support those navigating Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Grief, and Neurodivergence. I bring a trauma-informed, collaborative approach to every session and strive to create a space where you feel seen, safe, and supported. Whether you’re looking to understand yourself better, process painful experiences, or build healthier relationships, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and curiosity.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Therapy with me is a collaborative process—tailored to you, your pace, and your goals. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just curious about how life could feel better, I’m here to walk alongside you. Let’s talk.
