“I believe that starting therapy takes courage, and finding the right therapist can make all the difference. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up as your authentic self, knowing you’ll be met with compassion, empathy, and honesty. I strive to meet each client where they are, adapting my approach to their individual needs. Some days, you may need a warm and nurturing space to process your experiences, while other days, you may need someone who can offer a different perspective and gently challenge you. I believe meaningful growth comes from a balance of compassion and accountability. I will support you while also encouraging you to explore patterns, recognize areas for growth, and work through what may be holding you back.
As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I have experience working with teens, adults, couples, and families navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, substance use, and more complex mental health concerns, including personality disorders and psychosis. My background in crisis settings has provided me with valuable experience supporting individuals through a wide range of mental health challenges, including complex and high-acuity needs. I draw from CBT, DBT, person-centered therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients better understand themselves, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful changes in their lives.
I believe it’s important to be honest: therapy isn’t always easy. Growth takes time, patience, and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone. There may be difficult conversations and uncomfortable moments, but the work you put into yourself is worth it. My hope is to walk alongside you through that process, offering support, encouragement, and honesty every step of the way. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. You just have to be willing to take that first step.”
