I believe in developing thoughtful, individualized treatment plans that consider the whole person and the systems impacting their well-being.

We’ll collaboratively examine how stressors and mental health concerns are affecting your life, where these patterns may come from, and how to create meaningful, sustainable change.

as down-to-earth, supportive, responsive, and deeply committed to their growth. I strive to create a nonjudgmental, safe space where clients can talk openly about what matters most. My goal is to reduce avoidance and help clients feel supported as they engage in the deeper work necessary for lasting change.
