If you’re looking for a therapist who feels real, approachable, and genuinely invested in you, you’re in the right place. I believe therapy works best when you feel understood, respected, and safe enough to be honest. I lead with warmth, curiosity, and compassion, while also offering thoughtful challenges when they’re helpful for growth. We can laugh, sit with hard emotions, and talk about what’s actually going on, without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out. The heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I see healing as something that happens between us, built on trust, consistency, and feeling truly seen. I show up as a real human in the room and value collaboration, transparency, and pacing that feels right for you. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported and empowered, while also gently encouraged to step outside of patterns that may no longer be serving you. I draw from CBT and DBT to help you build practical skills, increase emotional awareness, and better understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. I also approach therapy relationally, paying close attention to how your past and present relationships shape the way you experience yourself and others. Together, we’ll explore what’s coming up for you now, strengthen coping tools, and work toward change that feels meaningful and sustainable. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply in need of a space where you don’t have to carry everything alone, I’m here. You don’t need to be “ready” or have all the answers to begin. I’ll meet you where you are, offer steady support, and walk alongside you as we work toward greater clarity, balance, and self-compassion.
