As a licensed therapist with over 10 years of experience, I am committed to helping adults navigate life's challenges and build meaningful, fulfilling lives. I work with individuals who are facing a range of concerns, including anxiety and phobias, OCD, ADHD, life transitions, and parenting concerns. I understand that seeking therapy can be a difficult step, and my goal is to create an environment where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make lasting changes. Whether you're dealing with specific issues or looking for guidance in managing your overall mental health, I'm here to help you navigate the process with compassion.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach incorporates Person-Centered theory, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), tailored to suit your specific needs. I am also trained in SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), a treatment intervention that works with parents to help their children overcome problematic anxiety.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I offer telehealth sessions and look forward to working with you as you embark on a journey toward healing and growth.
