I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions and experiences. I work with clients navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem concerns, as well as mood-related and neurodevelopmental challenges. My focus areas include helping young adults process divorce and separation, heal from trauma and self-harm, explore identity and adoption experiences, and address the unique needs of LGBTQ+ clients.
I believe in creating a safe, affirming space where you can show up authentically. My approach is grounded in compassion and collaboration, drawing on evidence-based practices to support your healing at your own pace. Whether you're working through grief, identity questions, or building a stronger sense of self-worth, I'm here to walk alongside you with genuine care and respect.
I'm honored to support you on your journey toward greater peace and wholeness.
