About

I find human connection to be one of the most powerful catalysts for change, healing, and resilience. This belief inspired me to become a therapist and continues to guide my work today. I have always been drawn to understanding people's stories, experiences, and perspectives, and I value the opportunity to help clients make sense of who they are and how they want to move through the world. Therapy offers a unique space to pause, reflect, and approach yourself with greater curiosity and compassion. I strive to create a warm and authentic environment where clients feel comfortable showing up exactly as they are. It is a privilege to walk alongside people as they navigate challenges, recognize their strengths, and build lives that feel more meaningful, connected, and aligned with their values.

I work with adolescents, adults, older adults, and couples across a variety of concerns and life experiences. I have specialized training in treating anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and eating disorders, and I enjoy helping clients develop practical tools while gaining a deeper understanding of themselves. I am especially passionate about working with adolescents and emerging adults as they navigate identity development, relationships, academic and career pressures, life transitions, and questions about who they want to become. I also enjoy supporting clients who struggle with self-esteem, self-doubt, and confidence concerns. My goal is to help clients build resilience, strengthen their sense of self, and feel more equipped to navigate life's challenges with confidence.

As a therapist, I lead with both humor and compassion, believing that meaningful change happens within the context of a genuine therapeutic relationship. My approach is direct, supportive, and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable being unapologetically themselves, free from judgment and pressure to have everything figured out. I draw from Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT, foundational ERP techniques for OCD, and psychodynamic/psychoanalytic approaches to help clients better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and create lasting change. I often tell clients, "You're driving the car, and I'm sitting in the passenger seat with Google Maps," because I see my role as offering guidance, perspective, and support while recognizing that you are the expert on your own life.. Above all, I want clients to feel heard, understood, and supported as they work toward the changes that matter most to them.
