My communication style

I create a safe, cozy space where perfectionistic millennial women can express themselves without judgment — while also being gently challenged to grow. I like to use humor (respectfully!) to build connection and show up ready to work, and I hope you do too.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I’ve been where many of my clients are — struggling with depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. I spent years self-medicating and using coping strategies that didn’t serve me, and my own healing journey showed me how transformative support can be. I now use that understanding to help clients release shame.

My goals for you

We'll work together to identify what matters most to you and create a plan that feels manageable. I'll help you process what's holding you back and build practical skills you can use in daily life. Progress happens when you feel supported and challenged in equal measure.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll talk about what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask questions to understand your story and explain how we might work together. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard and hopeful about the path forward.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
