Mental health affects our relationships, and our relationships affect mental health. The quality of our social connections is the greatest predictor of well-being, which is why helping clients build healthy relationships of all kinds and heal from past relationship trauma are my counseling passions! My additional areas of specialty include anxiety, burnout, mood disorders, and substance use disorders – whether it’s you or a loved one who is struggling. In our sessions, we'll foster deep self-understanding and self-compassion, deconstruct patterns that no longer serve you or align with your values, and work collaboratively to create meaningful, long-lasting change.

I offer individual, couple, and adult family therapy sessions. While my approach is unique for every client, I always use a strengths-based, encouraging, empathetic, and nonjudgmental lens. Skills training in emotion regulation, coping, communication, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, stress management, and mindfulness are integral to my work.

Clients' holistic wellness is a top priority in my therapeutic process. Together, we'll analyze your overall well-being, including emotional, social, physical, and even professional, then create specific goals to get you on the path to balance and fulfillment. If it sounds like I'd be a helpful addition to your healing journey, reach out to schedule with me!
