Deciding to pursue the journey of therapy takes courage and strength and I would be honored to be the therapist to help guide and support you through your exploration of your self, your life and of your relationships. I approach therapy from a collaborative and supportive place, challenging people when necessary and helping them to utilize their own internal strengths and external supports in the best way possible.

When we work together, you can expect me to be real, compassionate, and direct. I’ll listen closely, but I’ll also challenge you when it’s needed. My approach blends evidence-based therapies with a warm, collaborative style. That means we’ll look at both what’s happening in the present and what past experiences might still be impacting you. Together, we’ll set clear goals, try out practical strategies, and keep checking in so that therapy feels useful and empowering—not just like “talking in circles.” Most importantly, I want you to know you don’t have to show up as anyone but yourself.

Having an alliance with your therapist has been shown to improve outcomes in numerous studies throughout the years. This is something I believe in and I have been able to make a natural connection with most clients who enter treatment. Through a collaborative relationship, we can explore the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This will provide insight into how negative thought patterns play a role in your current problems and help us develop the best strategies to combat them.
