    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    CBT is a well-researched, goal-oriented approach that helps you recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. I use CBT techniques to help clients challenge unhelpful patterns, reduce distress, and build more balanced ways of thinking and responding

    Person-Centered Therapy

    At the heart of my work is a strong belief in your inner wisdom and capacity for growth. Person-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. I strive to meet each client with respect, curiosity, and deep listening—because you are the expert on your own life.

    Animal-Assisted Therapy

    Griz, my calm and friendly black lab, is often part of the therapeutic process. His gentle presence offers comfort, emotional grounding, and a sense of connection that can be especially powerful during difficult conversations. Whether sitting beside you or simply being in the room, Griz helps create a welcoming space where healing can unfold naturally. I believe deeply in the human–animal bond and the unique way animals support emotional well-being.

    Mindfulness-Based Approaches

    Mindfulness invites you to slow down, notice your inner experience, and respond with greater intention. I incorporate mindfulness practices to help clients reduce stress, increase emotional regulation, and feel more present in their day-to-day lives.

    Feminist theory guides my work in understanding how systems of power, identity, and inequality can impact mental health. I strive to create a space that honors your lived experience, centers your voice, and supports your autonomy in making meaningful choices.

Focus Areas

  • Anxiety

    Anxiety can show up in many forms—racing thoughts, constant worry, difficulty concentrating, or feeling overwhelmed in daily life. I work with clients to identify what’s fueling their anxiety and develop practical, evidence-based strategies to manage it. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, in control, and confident in your ability to cope.

  • Depression

    Depression can make it hard to feel motivated, hopeful, or connected. Whether you're navigating sadness, low energy, or emotional numbness, I offer a supportive space to better understand your experience and find a path forward. Together, we’ll explore tools that support healing and meaningful change—at your pace

  • Teen Mental Health

    Adolescence can be a time of self-discovery, stress, and emotional ups and downs. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space for teens to talk about what’s going on in their world. Whether it’s anxiety, academic pressure, identity questions, or peer conflict, I help teens build insight, resilience, and healthy coping strategies

  • Life Transitions

    Big life changes—starting college, becoming a parent, moving, changing jobs—can feel both exciting and disorienting. I support clients in navigating transitions with greater clarity, balance, and self-trust. Whether the change is expected or not, we’ll work to help you adapt in ways that align with your values and needs

  • School Issues

    Academic pressure, social stress, learning challenges, and school avoidance can all take a toll on mental health. I work collaboratively with students and parents to address school-related concerns and support success both in and out of the classroom.

  • Motherhood

    Motherhood can be rewarding, exhausting, isolating, and deeply transformative—all at once. Whether you're navigating identity shifts, emotional overwhelm, or the everyday stress of parenting, I provide a supportive space to explore your experience and reconnect with yourself.

  • Peer Relationships

    Friendships and social dynamics can have a big impact on emotional well-being—especially during adolescence. I help clients understand patterns in their relationships, develop healthy communication skills, and build more fulfilling, supportive connections with others.

  • Parenting Support

    Parenting brings both joy and challenge—and it’s okay to need support along the way. I work with parents who are navigating behavioral concerns, family transitions, or their own emotional stress. We’ll explore practical tools and reflective insight to help you parent with more confidence, connection, and calm
