Warm. Collaborative. Purposeful.

I don't believe therapy should be one-size-fits-all.

I integrate different therapeutic approaches based on your needs, goals, and stage of life.

You Don't Have to Have the Perfect Words

I don't want you to come into therapy and feel like you have to say the right thing or prove that your problems are bad enough to deserve help.

You can come in and say:

“I don't even know what's wrong. I'm just over it.”

You can tell me you're angry.

You can tell me you're overwhelmed.

You can tell me you’re exhausted from tracking cycles, navigating IVF, or carrying the quiet grief of fertility struggles.

You can tell me you’re tired of putting on a brave face while everyone else seems to be moving forward.

You can tell me you keep making the same relationship choices and have absolutely no idea why.

You can tell me your mind keeps getting stuck on the same thought or possibility, and you can't seem to get the certainty you're looking for.

You can tell me you know what you should do but just can't seem to do it.

And yes, we can absolutely talk about why you keep overthinking that text message.

Therapy, to me, isn't about me telling you what to do.

It's about helping you understand yourself better, recognize the patterns you're stuck in, figure out what you actually want, and then giving you the tools to start doing something different.

EXPLORE THERAPY FOR WOMEN

And Then There Are Teenagers

My clinical background has allowed me to work with children, adolescents, and families in elementary, middle, and high school settings, as well as in mental health and community-based settings.

I've worked with students from many different backgrounds, and one thing I've learned over and over again is that connection comes first.

Especially with teenagers.

I genuinely love working with teens because they are often misunderstood.

I've worked with students who initially wanted absolutely nothing to do with counseling.

And that's okay.

I'm not going to sit across from a teenager with a clipboard and ask, “So, how are you feeling today?” while expecting them to suddenly tell me their deepest secrets.

Sometimes you have to talk about music first.

Or school drama.

Or the thing they've been thinking about over and over, even though they wish they could just let it go.

Or TikTok.

Or whatever random thing they are interested in that day.

And somewhere along the way, they start talking about the thing they actually came in carrying.

I've had students open up to me about things they hadn't been able to say to other adults, and sometimes they didn't even realize they were doing therapy.

That's what I love about this work.

EXPLORE THERAPY FOR TEENS

So, What Can You Expect From Me?

Whether I'm sitting with a teenager trying to figure out who they are, a young person caught in an OCD cycle, or a woman who is exhausted from trying to be everything to everyone, I want my clients to feel like they can finally exhale.

You don't have to have the perfect words.

You don't have to have it all figured out.

And you definitely don't have to wait until things get really bad to ask for help.

You can just start where you are.

I'll meet you there.

Therapeutic Approaches & Specialized Training

  • Learning to respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward the relationships, values, and life that matter to you.

  • A specialized behavioral approach for OCD that helps you gradually face feared thoughts, situations, or uncertainties while reducing compulsive behaviors and reassurance-seeking. I use ERP-informed strategies with adolescents and women experiencing OCD.

  • Building practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, relationships, and navigating difficult moments.

  • Building a kinder relationship with yourself while working with shame, self-criticism, anxiety, and the pressure to constantly hold everything together.

  • Understanding how past experiences can shape the way you connect, communicate, seek reassurance, and respond to closeness or distance in relationships.

  • Advanced training focused on the assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders, including understanding anxiety patterns and developing evidence-informed strategies to help clients respond differently to fear, uncertainty, and avoidance.

At the center of the work is you—not a diagnosis, not a checklist, and not a one-size-fits-all treatment plan.

You don't have to figure it all out before you get here.

You just have to start where you are.
