All About Therapy
Personalized Attention for All Your Needs
Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in my sessions I promote behavioral transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and reactions. I have the tools and professional experience to help you get back on track.

Here For You
I know reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and I’m honored you're considering allowing me to be part of your journey. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.
I work with adults and adolescents who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, or other emotional challenges. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply looking for support, we can work together to help you gain insight, build healthy coping skills, and move toward the life you want to live.
My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and genuine. I blend Motivational Interviewing with a holistic approach, recognizing that mental health is connected to every aspect of our lives, including our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and overall well-being. I believe therapy should feel personal, and I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, strengths, and goals.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals from many different backgrounds and walks of life. My passion is helping people heal, grow, and rediscover their strengths. No matter where you are in your journey, my priority is creating a space where you feel supported, valued, and empowered.
Specialties include anxiety and panic disorders, depression, trauma, addiction and substance misuse, Autism Spectrum Disorder, bipolar disorder, life transitions, stress management, self-esteem, and personal growth.
You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I’m here to help.

FAQ
How long should I expect to stay in therapy?
There is no definitive answer to this question. Though it’s safe to say more than a session or two is necessary to make any headway on what brings someone in, some individuals find a few sessions are sufficient, while others choose to continue long-term (over 20 sessions). Often individuals choose to continue to work with me through additional layers as they arise while others choose to address additional items outside of the therapeutic context. There isn’t necessarily a correct answer, but we can collaborate together to help you make the ultimate choice for yourself.
Do you offer a sliding scale rate?
Please don’t let the cost of therapy discourage you from contacting me. I’ve found that more often than not I’m able to come up with an acceptable arrangement with most people. Even when that hasn’t been the case, I’ve been able to refer inquiries to therapists who may be able to accommodate your financial situation.
