About my approach
I’m warm, attentive, and creative. I meet you where you are, be a real person in the room, and gently challenge what’s keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll build confidence and momentum so change feels possible and sustainable.
What clients say
Clients describe me as calm and grounding. They appreciate having a safe space to be vulnerable and emotionally explore—without pressure—while still feeling supported to try something new.
Guiding idea / Point of therapy
Therapy helps you better understand yourself and grow emotionally—at your own pace.
Tools & frameworks I use
CBT • Family Systems • Mindfulness • Play Therapy • Theraplay • Parent Coaching
What you can expect in a session with me
Adults can expect a collaborative mix of insight-oriented work and CBT/Mindfulness tools you can use between sessions. With kids and teens, I blend play and creative activities with practical skills—while partnering with caregivers on simple strategies that make home and school easier.
If you’re nervous to start…
Just taking the first step is an achievement on its own. We can move from there at a pace that works for you.
A belief that shapes my work
“Self care isn't selfish; self care is resistance.”
Outside of therapy you’ll find me…
Reading a book or planning my next trip—maybe trying a new restaurant or petting my cat. I believe in having fun along the way.
Note: If you’re in crisis or need immediate support, call 988 or go to the nearest emergency room.
