My communication style

Therapy with me is laid back, collaborative, and human. Some sessions end with tears. Others end with laughter. I'll meet you with warmth, curiosity, and honesty while gently challenging the patterns that keep you stuck. You never have to perform, have the "right" answer, or pretend you're okay.

My journey to mental healthcare

Before becoming a therapist, I spent years in high-performance coaching, fitness, and behavior change. That experience taught me that lasting growth isn't about working harder; it's about understanding yourself differently. Today I blend that perspective with evidence-based therapy to help clients create meaningful, sustainable change.

My goals for you

Big change that is actually sustainable happens through small, meaningful steps. We'll celebrate progress, learn from setbacks, and focus on building skills that make everyday life feel easier. My goal isn't just to help you feel better; it's to help you trust yourself more and create lasting change.

Our first session

Zero pressure. There's no awkward therapy test to pass or robotic interview style here. We'll talk about what's bringing you in, what's weighing on you, and what you hope life could look like. I'll ask thoughtful questions, get to know your story, and together we'll create a plan that feels realistic, supportive, and tailored to you.
