Beginning your therapy journey is a powerful act of self-love and courage. It is an impactful moment to acknowledge that you’re ready to live in alignment with your most authentic self. I’m here to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore, heal, and grow—where your voice is heard, your story matters, and your truth is honored. My therapeutic style is person-centered and collaborative, creating an environment where curiosity, self-compassion, humor, and reflection are welcome. College can bring pressure, stress, and big transitions, but it can also be a time of discovery. Together, we’ll focus on curiosity over judgment and self-compassion over shame. You are the author of your story, and you already hold the knowledge that will guide you toward the life you want. It’s a privilege to walk alongside you as you navigate this chapter, embrace vulnerability, and step into your growth.

When one feels that they are more in control, they have more confidence in themselves. When one feels out of control and overwhelmed, they are lacking in confidence and often get frustrated. Thankfully there is a way to be a control freak without doing it to others. Control yourself by paying more attention to your emotions, thoughts, and actions. I want to help you do that so you can find more enjoyment out of the things you want to do and less stress doing the things you don't want to do. Let me help you create confidence in yourself to manage better and take control of your life. Some of the most common things I help you gain more control over is stress, anxiety, depression, eating disorders / dysfunctions, emotional management, and relationships.

Early on, we will develop a trusting relationship, exploring your current concerns and collaborating to find ways to address them.

College and young adulthood can be an exciting time, but it can also bring pressure, uncertainty, and significant life changes. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed by school, struggling with anxiety or depression, or finding yourself questioning who you are and what you want your life to look like. You may be navigating academic pressure, difficult family relationships, changing friendships, or the challenge of becoming more independent. You don’t have to navigate it all on your own. I work primarily with young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, college-related stress, performance anxiety, perfectionism, eating disorders, body image concerns, and family or relationship struggles. I understand that these challenges often overlap—academic or performance pressure can affect self-worth, perfectionism can make you feel like nothing is ever enough, and depression can make everyday responsibilities feel overwhelming. I also work with individuals who are struggling with their relationship with food, exercise, or their body. Together, we can explore the emotions, beliefs, and experiences underlying these concerns while working toward a healthier relationship with yourself. Family relationships can also become more complicated during young adulthood as you navigate independence, boundaries, expectations, and communication. Therapy can provide a space to better understand these patterns, strengthen relationships, and develop confidence in expressing your needs. My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized. I believe therapy should be a space where you can be honest about what you're experiencing without judgment. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or simply unsure of where to start, we can work together to better understand what you're going through and build tools to help you feel more confident and connected in your life.

I enjoy working with a many different presenting problems. My passions include working with teens/adults, men's issues (especially navigating work and/or family life), post-partum Dads, athletes and substance use/co-occurring disorders. Therapy isn't one-size fits all. I utilize many forms of therapy depending on what my client may need. These typically include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused therapy and motivational interviewing. Each client is unique and I find it important to adjust treatment strategies to the needs of each client. Should you allow me to be a help to you, you can always expect empathy and compassion. But you can also expect me to be direct, push you to challenge your perspective, and inject a bit of humor into the therapy process. I welcome you to reach out if you think I could be the right fit for you.

I'm also in my creative era, most recently diving into the handbuilt pottery world, perfecting my sourdough bread recipe, and crocheting a year-long temperature blanket, all which are teaching me patience and the value of the process.

Hello! I am a mental health therapist (LLC). I offer both in person and virtual mental health therapy appointments. I have a wide range of experiences and am a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I believe that counseling is a collaborative process where clients are able to explore within a safe, affirmative, and compassionate space. By centering on the client’s voice and experience, healing is supported with self-empowerment and compassion. I also recognize that there are connections between the mind and body which can allow for alternative methods of healing to be explored so the best fit can be found for each individual. My current clinical interests include concerns related to sex, sexuality, and gender identity as well as life phase adjustments and relational issues. While interested in learning many psychological techniques, I maintain a framework focused on existential theory and strengths-based practices.
