Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may be carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, grief, or a transition that leaves you questioning who you are and where you’re going. Together, we can create a supportive space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered to take meaningful steps forward. I believe therapy is more than problem-solving — it’s a place to reconnect with your inner strength, discover hope, and find deeper meaning, even in the midst of suffering. My approach is warm, genuine, and practical. I draw from Jungian and transpersonal therapy, offering tools that are gentle yet direct, so you can feel grounded.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Contemplative Psychotherapy Combines mindfulness and meditation practices with modern psychology. It encourages awareness and compassion as part of the healing process.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Feminist Therapy Addresses how gender roles, power, and social inequality affect mental health. It empowers clients to challenge limiting beliefs and systems.

- Jungian Therapy Draws on Carl Jung’s ideas about archetypes, dreams, and the collective unconscious. It helps people explore deeper layers of meaning.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.

I work with adults age 18+. Many of my clients are navigating depression, anxiety, grief, major life transitions, identity questions, or health challenges. I specialize in supporting people during faith transitions, exploring spirituality outside of organized religion, and those who are childfree, single by choice, or identify as asexual or demisexual.
In our sessions, we will explore what matters most to you and uncover new ways of moving through stress, building resilience, and finding joy. Together, we’ll create a path that feels authentic and sustainable for you. I respond to all inquiries within one business day. I currently offer appointments Monday through Friday, 11 am – 5 pm. Let’s connect.
