Here to Help You Heal
With clinical experience across school-based and private practice settings, I'm a relationally focused therapist who helps adolescents and adults navigate difficult relationships, depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and patterns of thinking and behavior that feel stuck. I work with people who are struggling to understand why they feel the way they do and are ready to start making a change but don't know where to start.
In our work together, I believe in creating a space where you can feel safe, understood, and accepted without judgment. Whether you're an adolescent navigating the pressures of growing up or an adult facing life's challenges, I strive to be a compassionate and collaborative partner to better understand your experiences, navigate challenges, and identify what you need to feel more grounded and fulfilled. I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you in creating meaningful change in your life.
My Approach to Care
I'm passionate about helping people feel truly understood and supported, while creating space to explore where their struggles come from and develop the confidence and tools to move forward. Many of my patients also experience depression, which often intertwines with these challenges in ways we work through together.
In our sessions, a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment is what you can count on. I use psychodynamic therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand where your negative thoughts and feelings come from and develop practical ways to address them. Relational and strengths-based, my style adapts to your unique needs, goals, and pace while ensuring empathy and honesty at all times.
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
My path to becoming a therapist began with a deep fascination with people: the way our experiences shape who we are, how we think, and how we move through the world. That fascination has always drawn me to hearing people's stories and understanding what makes each person unique, and it eventually led me to social work and then to therapy, where I get to do exactly that every day.
My clinical experiences deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, individualized care that meets each person where they are. Warmth, curiosity, and a nonjudgmental presence are what I bring to each session in my practice now.
Personal Interests
In my free time, I enjoy needlepoint, cooking, Pilates, walking my dog, and watching reality TV.
