Intro

As a licensed therapist, I understand how draining life can feel as you strive to fulfill every role—worker, partner, parent, child, or friend—to the best of your ability. I’m here to help you navigate these roles with a bit more ease. Using CBT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy, we’ll work toward a more fulfilling life. Let’s connect if you’re ready for clarity and healing.

How would you describe your approach to care?

My style is collaborative, compassionate, and practical, with a little bit of humor. My approach is rooted in creating a safe, trusting space where we can explore challenges together. I believe in empowering clients by focusing on their inherent strengths and building practical, sustainable coping skills. We’ll work collaboratively to tailor strategies that fit your unique life circumstances.

What should be expected in the first session?

I know starting therapy can feel daunting, so I focus our first session on creating a warm, inviting atmosphere where you feel safe to tell your story, share your current challenges, and feel heard and understood. You’ll leave the first session with a clearer sense of direction.
