My clients feel exhausted from carrying the mental load of everything. They know they should be kinder to themself, but somehow always feel behind. If this sounds like you, then let’s work together. I offer therapy that is modern, accessible, and holistic. We’ll use practical tools to help you manage stress, quiet your inner critic, and feel more in control of your emotions. Therapy with me is supportive but also action-oriented and we’ll work together to make changes that actually stick. I believe therapy should be something you look forward to. If you’re ready to feel more in control of your life, let’s talk.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- 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.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- 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.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- 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.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, so I aim to make the intake process clear, supportive, and low-pressure. Early sessions focus on getting to know you, understanding your concerns, and identifying patterns that may be contributing to stress or anxiety. Working with me feels collaborative, conversational, and tailored to you. I work best with thoughtful, emotionally aware clients who want both insight and practical support. Progress looks different for everyone, but often looks like increased clarity, steadier emotions, improved coping, and feeling more grounded in daily life—with space for humor and real-life messiness along the way. You can expect a supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and make sustainable change.
