About My Clients

My ideal clients are individuals ready to invest in themselves but unsure where to start. I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, stress, self-doubt, and major life transitions. Whether you’re overwhelmed by daily pressures, struggling with relationships, or searching for purpose, I create a safe, supportive space where you can slow down, reflect, and build confidence. You don’t have to face it alone—healing starts with one step forward.

My Background and Approach

I’m a clinician and scientist-practitioner with years of experience guiding clients through emotional challenges, personal growth, and recovery from life’s setbacks. My background spans work in community mental health, virtual therapy, and private practice, allowing me to connect with diverse populations and needs. I combine evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, and mindfulness with a warm, energetic, and straightforward style. I also bring my love of the outdoors into sessions, offering nature-based therapy and even hiking experiences that help clients reconnect with themselves in calming, natural environments. Beyond therapy, I’m passionate about research and staying current on best practices to bring fresh insights into our work. And when I’m not with clients, you’ll likely find me exploring a trail or enjoying a great movie—because I believe in balancing hard work with joy. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and capable of creating lasting change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe healing happens when people feel safe, seen, and empowered to live authentically. As a clinician, I value inclusivity, compassion, and social justice, and I work to create a space where every voice matters. I am passionate about reducing stigma around mental health and supporting underserved communities, ensuring that therapy is accessible and culturally responsive. Nature also plays a big role in my beliefs—being outdoors reminds me of our resilience, growth, and ability to find new paths forward. Whether on a hiking trail or in session, I believe in walking alongside my clients as they reclaim their strength and build lives aligned with their values. I welcome clients from all beliefs and backgrounds, and I am committed to offering the same level of care, respect, and dedication to every person I work with.
