I meet clients where they are, using a strengths-based, warm, and direct approach. I help them build a stronger foundation for navigating challenges. I connect through humor, curiosity, and exploring what matters most to them.

We’ll clarify your current challenges and the barriers getting in the way. Together, we’ll explore your strengths and areas for growth to build practical skills that help you handle difficulties more effectively.

Clients often say I’m genuine, warm, and straightforward. I offer a judgment‑free environment where they can be fully themselves and feel safe being open and vulnerable.

I work with clients facing depression, anxiety, and a constant self‑critical voice. I also support those raised by emotionally unavailable parents, helping them break people‑pleasing patterns and build healthier boundaries.

Teachers once said I’d never get paid to talk, yet here I am. I know what it’s like to battle an inner critic and feel stuck in constant struggle. A great therapist changed my life, and now I pay it forward—combining natural connection with clinical training to help clients meet their goals.
