I specialize in supporting adults navigating life transitions such as relocation, becoming a parent, career changes, loss, and newfound sobriety. These moments of change often bring unresolved past issues to the surface, making it essential to develop new tools and coping strategies. I also enjoy working with older adolescents, bringing a playful and creative approach to help them navigate challenges and foster growth during this critical stage of development. My goal is to help clients find balance, manage difficult emotions, and uncover new strengths, creating space for self-discovery and resilience.

Therapy is a safe, judgment-free space where you can explore your patterns, gain insight into your behaviors, and develop tools to communicate and relate to the world in new ways. I believe success in therapy comes from building meaningful connections—within yourself, in the therapeutic relationship, and beyond—to navigate life’s ups and downs with greater ease. Whether uncovering long-buried emotions or learning to laugh at life’s challenges, therapy is a journey of growth, joy, and transformation. Together, we’ll focus on creating a fulfilling and balanced path forward, tailored to your unique story and needs.
