Starting therapy can feel awkward, intimidating, or like you’re not quite sure where to begin and that’s normal. My goal is to create a space where clients don’t have to filter themselves or have everything figured out. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable being fully themselves with me and sharing things they haven’t felt safe saying elsewhere. That sense of safety and connection is intentional and central to the work I do.

I work with children, preteens, teens, parents, and young adults, supporting concerns such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. My style is calm and steady, with room for humor and authenticity. I’m a trauma-informed therapist with 6 years of experience and a deep passion for play therapy, especially using expressive art and sand tray with all ages. Not everything needs to be talked through. Sometimes it needs to be created, shown, or experienced.

At the core, I believe people heal through connection, purpose, and understanding, and that the most important part of therapy is the relationship itself. I offer in-person sessions for children and virtual and in-person sessions for teenagers and adults. If you’re looking for a therapist who is grounded, genuine, and focused on real connection, you may be in the right place.
