I believe everyone has an inner strength and that a large part of my role as a therapist is to assist you in discovering and utilizing whatever that strength may be! It is vital to the therapy process to feel a genuine connection with your therapist, so I focus on establishing rapport and strive to create a safe and open environment in which you can feel comfortable to be yourself. I provide individual therapy and am passionate about helping clients navigate a variety of concerns including: anxiety, depression, perinatal/postpartum mental health, self-esteem, relationship issues, and life transitions.

I specialize in working with college-age individuals & young adults with a focus on anxiety, life transitions, relationships, and perinatal/postpartum mental health. Commonly used treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.
No matter who you are, where you come from, or how you’re doing in this moment, I believe every person can benefit from having a safe space where they can be unapologetically themselves and receive unconditional support. In a world of constant pressure and comparison, everyone should have someone in their corner, and it would be a privilege to be in yours.
