Biography
I’m a warm, non-judgmental therapist who truly values building real human connections with my clients. I bring empathy, a gentle presence, and even a bit of humor into the room, creating a safe and comfortable space where people feel seen and heard. I genuinely care for my clients not just as patients, but as people. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults, and I’m also experienced in supporting adults. I help clients navigate depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, self-injury, suicidal ideation, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, behavioral concerns, and family conflict. My therapeutic foundation is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but I draw from a variety of approaches to meet each client’s unique needs. I emphasize trust, authenticity, and helping clients connect with their values to guide meaningful change. My goal is to support each person in feeling safe enough to explore what’s going on inside and around them, and empowered enough to move toward the life they want. Therapy with me is about finding your footing again—and feeling like yourself.
