Nice to meet you

I often work with people dealing with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. I take a collaborative and grounded approach to therapy. I want sessions to feel like a space where you can be open while also leaving with something useful. I help clients recognize the link between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we focus on practical strategies that lead to lasting results. My style is supportive but honest, and I’m not afraid to gently challenge you when it’s helpful. We focus on building tools you can use in your day-to-day life, not just in session.

Interests

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and staying connected with friends. I also prioritize my health and wellness by working out. I’m very interested in personal growth and development, and I stay engaged through reading, learning, and being involved in spaces that focus on continuous self-improvement.
