About Me

I work with clients navigating relationships, life transitions, questions of belonging, and religious or spiritual experiences. My style is warm, curious, and active—blending humor, empathy, and respect for you as the expert of your story. Together, we’ll explore anxiety, depression, or everyday challenges in a way that feels authentic to you, whether that includes reflection, humor, or even music.

I use an eclectic approach informed by CBT, Motivational Interviewing, DBT, and ACT to help clients build resilience, self-advocacy, and adaptability. Therapy doesn’t have to be reserved for crises; it can also be a meaningful way to deepen self-understanding and navigate life with more clarity and confidence.
