My passion for mental health began through my own personal journey navigating anxiety. That experience shapes how I show up in every therapeutic relationship -- with authenticity, a commitment to growth, and genuine partnership. Every voice deserves to be heard, and I believe the messy, complicated parts of life deserve a judgment-free space to be explored. Life is so much more than the hardest things that have happened to you, and I believe in celebrating progress -- the big milestones and especially the small ones.
My practice is grounded in systems theory and a deep commitment to seeing each person as a whole -- all the parts of who they are and how those parts interact with the world around them. Every person's story and experience is unique, and that belief shapes everything about how I work. I have a particular passion for art-based therapeutic interventions and love finding ways to bring creativity into sessions. My clinical work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to support each client's specific goals.
I have years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families in both individual and group settings. My approach is built on meeting you where you are, creating a collaborative environment to help you achieve your goals, process trauma, or simply have a space where someone is genuinely listening.
Whenever you are ready to take that first step, I would be honored to welcome you.
