I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods while you vent. I’ll ask questions, offer perspective, reflect back what I notice, and share practical tools to help you connect the dots. Some weeks that might mean building real-world coping skills; other weeks, it’s about sitting with grief, shame, or unmet expectations. Both are important. I draw from therapies like ACT, CBT, DBT, ERP, and motivational interviewing, but therapy with me is always shaped around you. I work best with teens and young adults navigating anxiety, disordered eating, body image distress, relationship patterns, life transitions, or ADHD traits. I also work affirmatively with LGBTQ+ clients and those exploring identity in any form.

Before entering this field, I worked as a nurse. What drew me in wasn’t just the patient charts—it was their stories. That background helps me approach therapy with both clinical grounding and human depth.Clients describe me as grounding, compassionate, and real. My style is collaborative, warm, and gently direct. You don’t need to perform or impress here. Just show up as you are—and we’ll go from there.

When I’m not in session, I turn to movement, connection, and creativity to ground me—dancing to country songs in my well-worn boots, spending slow Sundays in coffee shops, and recreating family recipes in the kitchen. These quiet little resets help me come home to myself and allow me to show up fully in the work we do together.
