Iced coffees and teas are my jam.
Mom to a couple humans and a few dogs
Trail running is my stress toy.
I routinely have full-on convos with my dogs…they’re the true therapists!
Your biggest fan.
Your biggest advocate and fan? Guilty as charged. I specialize in excavating your hidden superpowers – yes, even when they're buried deeper than a pirate's treasure and guarded by what appears to be a very small, very determined dinosaur.
Think of me as part talent archaeologist, part professional hype person. I'll help you unearth those strengths you've somehow convinced yourself don't exist, then guide you through actually owning them instead of letting them collect dust.
My mission? Getting you to your maximum potential with minimum drama. Plus, I bring a healthy dose of playfulness to the process, complete with some moderately clever wit and enough comfort to make even the toughest breakthroughs feel manageable.
Because personal growth shouldn't feel like a root canal.
Therapy Doesn't Have To Feel Like Watching Paint Dry on a Tuesday.
Working with a therapist shouldn't be like sitting through unskippable ads—getting generic questions on repeat or random advice with zero game plan behind it.
Whether you're navigating the chaos of starting college, dealing with family drama, handling the pressure cooker that is being an athlete, bouncing back from illness or injury, figuring out parenting, or just managing whatever curveball life decided to throw today, I've got both the training and the real-world experience to help you figure it out.
You deserve a therapist you're actually excited to see—where sessions feel productive and you can track real progress through legit, results-driven approaches to work through trauma, beat athlete burnout, and clear out whatever's been messing with your performance, your mental space, or your overall energy.
Also, I like to think my office has solid vibes and isn't the worst place to spend an hour…so there's that.
Finally.
I know when it's time to lock in. We can go deep on your goals, push you where it counts, and get you (or your kid) the actual progress you've been looking for.
You've been wanting that perfect combo: someone who feels approachable and real…
can joke around when the moment calls for it…
AND most importantly, a highly trained specialist to help you get the results you want.
