Do you ever find yourself feeling overwhelmed or misunderstood, like your brain just works a bit differently from those around you? Whether you're dealing with anxiety, ADHD, OCD, chronic pain, questions about your identity, or just navigating a major life change, it's okay to seek support. Sometimes, you might not even have a specific label for what you're feeling; you just know you could use someone in your corner.

My own experiences navigating mental health and chronic pain have given me a personal understanding of how frustrating it can be when what you're experiencing isn't always obvious to the people around you. They've also shaped my appreciation for finding strategies that work for you, rather than assuming there's one right way to think, cope, or move through the world.

Before stepping into the world of therapy, my background in marketing made me curious about people; how we connect, communicate, and make sense of our experiences. I bring that same curiosity into therapy. My approach is empathetic, collaborative, conversational, and nonjudgmental, with plenty of room for humor and creativity.

I believe therapy should fit you, not the other way around. Some days, you might want practical skills to help with overwhelming thoughts or emotions, while other times, you might just need a space to talk without feeling rushed or "fixed." I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness, and we can incorporate art and creativity when that feels helpful. Together, we'll figure out what works for you.

Remember, there’s no pressure to come to therapy with everything figured out or to know exactly what's wrong. My main goal is to create a safe space where you can truly be yourself, feel understood, and start building the insights and tools to help you move toward the life you want. Let’s take this journey together!
