About Me
I became a therapist because I’ve always had a desire to help others, though I wasn’t sure what that would look like at first. From my first internship to where I am now, I’ve realized just how much this work means to me. I’ve grown both personally and professionally, but most importantly, I’ve been able to connect with so many different people. I love hearing others’ stories and celebrating even the smallest victories along their journey.
My Approach
I take an eclectic approach to therapy, meaning I pull from different techniques to best fit each client’s needs. My style is relaxed and laid back, but I also provide structure in our sessions to ensure progress and direction. I believe in a collaborative relationship where both of us can be open and honest about what’s working and what isn’t. Therapy should be a space where clients feel supported, heard, and empowered.
​
I primarily work with adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, and perinatal/postpartum mental health challenges. Whether it’s helping someone navigate intrusive thoughts, adjust to new motherhood, or find calm in the midst of anxiety, my goal is to provide a space for healing and growth.
