Meet Our Collaborators

You don’t have to have it all together to start therapy. In fact, most of my clients come to me when they’re exhausted from pretending they do. They’re overwhelmed, anxious, replaying the same patterns, or trying to show up for everyone else while quietly running on empty themselves. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone -- and you don’t have to figure it out alone either.

​

My mantra is simple: “Meet the client where they are.” Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, our work together starts with compassion, curiosity, and honesty. I don’t believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all approaches. I believe in meeting you as a human being first -- building a space where you can breathe, unpack, and begin to heal at your own pace.

​

My approach combines the warmth of authentic connection with evidence-based practices proven to help you make real, lasting change. Using tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and psychoeducation, we’ll explore not just what you’re feeling, but why -- so you can understand your emotions, patterns, and needs with clarity and self-compassion. Together, we’ll create practical strategies to manage stress, improve emotional regulation, strengthen boundaries, and build confidence in your daily life.

​

Clients often tell me that therapy with me feels like “a safe exhale.” My goal is to help you reconnect with your resilience -- that part of you that’s always been strong, even when life made you forget. Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken; it’s about remembering what’s whole and giving yourself permission to feel better.

​

If you’re ready to stop surviving and start living with more ease, joy, and purpose -- I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Taking the first step toward therapy isn't a weakness. It’s courage in action.
