Nice to meet you
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you’re not alone—I’m here to support you every step of the way. My approach is warm, affirming, and goal-oriented, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Together, we’ll explore challenges, build on your strengths, and work toward what matters most so you can grow into the version of yourself you want to be.

Interests
Outside of work, I love to travel—Belize is next on my list! I enjoy doing improv, practicing yoga, and going on long cycling rides. At home, I love spending time with my sweet (and sassy) domestic shorthair cat, Roger. I also value quality time with friends and family, whether it’s a cozy dinner, a weekend getaway, or just catching up over coffee.
