Are you lookin' for a therapist who will make you feel safe, heard, and understood? Someone who will meet you where you are without judgment, but will also help you figure out where you want to go from here? If so, look no further, because I'm right here!

I’m passionate about working with people who are navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, life transitions, and those, “What am I even doing with my life?” moments. With over 10 years of experience as a school counselor, I’ve had the privilege of helping people work through big emotions, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and learn how to cope when life feels overwhelming.

You can keep it real here. You don't have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or have it all figured out. We'll figure it out together, and we'll probably laugh along the way!

I’m often described as warm, calm, patient, and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are. You don’t have to know what to say, have everything figured out, or come into therapy with a perfectly organized list of problems or goals. We’ll start wherever you are and figure it out together.

Maybe your brain won’t stop overthinking. Maybe you’re feeling stuck in a low place. Maybe you’re constantly questioning yourself or wondering why your emotions feel SO BIG. Maybe you’re trying to navigate a friendship, relationship, school, work, or a major life change and thinking, “Okay…so what am I supposed to do now?”

Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I gotchu!

I believe therapy can be both meaningful and enjoyable. There can be hard conversations, uncomfortable feelings, and some really important work, but there can also be laughter! I want therapy to feel comfortable and human, not like you’re sitting across from someone reading questions off a clipboard. For my teen clients especially, I incorporate creative and interactive activities to make virtual therapy feel more natural and connected.

You don’t have to figure everything out before you reach out.

You just have to be willing to start. I’ll meet you there.

Short-Term Options

I understand that not everyone is looking for long-term therapy. If you’re looking for support around a specific concern, I offer short-term therapy packages designed around specific needs and goals.

Whether you’re a teen trying to navigate school, friendships, emotions, and confidence, or a young adult figuring out relationships, independence, work, identity, or what comes next, you don’t have to have it all figured out.

The anxiety package targets the root issues driving these behaviors.
