Welcome! In today’s fast-paced and often disconnected world, having a safe and supportive space to heal and grow is essential. My goal as a therapist is to co-create that space with you—one grounded in compassion, collaboration, and trust.

I take a holistic, client-centered approach to therapy, integrating principles from Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I believe therapy is most effective when it is tailored to your unique experiences, values, and goals, honoring your individual story rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Alongside my work in private practice, I serve as a school social worker, supporting students and families navigating academic, social, and emotional stressors. This experience informs my understanding of development, systems, and the complex ways life stress can impact overall well-being.

I view therapy as a collaborative process. Together, we will explore concerns, identify patterns, strengthen coping skills, and build resilience. I strive to provide a nonjudgmental, empathetic environment where you are met with curiosity, respect, and genuine care.
