Change can leave you questioning what you want, who you are, or whether you are making the right next move. I work with adults navigating anxiety, social anxiety, career changes, and other significant life transitions. Together, we can make sense of what feels uncertain, strengthen your ability to cope, and help you move forward in a way that feels more grounded and intentional.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and highly relational. I prioritize building trust through genuine curiosity and compassion while also offering practical strategies you can use outside the therapy room. I draw from ACT, CBT, DBT, and person-centered therapy, to help clients better understand themselves, relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions, and make choices that align with what matters to them.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in public education, national nonprofits, philanthropy, and the beauty industry, which is either an unconventional route to therapy or very thorough preparation for understanding people. While my résumé may not follow a straight line, the common thread has always been curiosity about people, what shapes us, and how we grow into what comes next.
Outside of work, I am usually outdoors or creating something with my hands. I love gardening, tennis, fly fishing, and wandering beaches and forests in search of shells, driftwood, sea glass, and other treasures. There is almost always a craft project underway at home, where I live with my partner and our dog.

My background as a social worker taught me that therapy should never be one-size-fits-all. I take a flexible, client-centered approach and tailor our work to your needs, experiences, and goals.
I work with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, isolation, and questions of self-worth. I also support people through periods of crisis and major life transitions, including changes involving school, work, relationships, faith, identity, or health.
My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in the therapeutic relationship. I welcome clients from a wide range of backgrounds and identities and work to create a space where you can feel understood, supported, and comfortable showing up as yourself.
