About me

My therapeutic style is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while also creating a space that feels warm, nonjudgmental, and real. I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe enough to be honest about what they’re experiencing, without pressure to have everything figured out.

In our sessions, we’ll work together to better understand the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be affecting your daily life. My goal is to support you in building practical tools, shifting unhelpful perspectives, and creating more clarity around what you need moving forward.

I also value authenticity in the therapy room. While therapy can involve meaningful and sometimes difficult conversations, I believe humor, warmth, and the ability to laugh together can be an important part of healing and connection.

My work is shaped by my own life experiences and by seeing how therapy can help people change the way they view themselves, their relationships, and the world around them.
