My Ideal Client

As you navigate life you may find that your current habits and coping skills are no longer helping. Sometimes when you build skills to help you survive a difficult situation you later realize those skills are no longer serving you. It is important to remember that you have the ability to change if you want to. I work with individuals (adults) who want to overcome symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma and create real change in their life.

My Approach to Helping

I utilize a person-centered, compassion-focused approach to help you learn how to support yourself and make the positive changes you want to make in your life.

Why I Became a Therapist

I became a therapist after going through therapy as a teenager for an anxiety disorder, and realizing how important finding the right therapist is for the therapy process. I also genuinely enjoying hearing peoples stories and helping them process their emotions.
