She/her
I especially enjoy working with college students and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, identity, and life transitions. I also work with adults who are looking for support as they navigate challenges in their relationships, work, or everyday lives. Whether you’re adjusting to a new stage of life or feeling stuck in patterns that are difficult to change, I want therapy to be a space where you feel accepted, understood, and comfortable being yourself.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and person-centered. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is built on trust, honesty, and collaboration, and that feeling truly seen and understood can be an important part of the process. At the same time, I believe therapy should help you move forward. I will support you while also challenging you when it feels helpful, offering practical resources and tools, and working with you to make realistic plans for change.
I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered, and attachment-based approaches, tailoring therapy to each person's needs and goals. I want clients to develop greater self-understanding and self-compassion while also building the skills and confidence to approach challenges differently. My goal is not to tell you what you should do, but to help you understand yourself well enough to make choices that feel right for you.
My clinical experience includes working in higher levels of care with individuals experiencing eating disorders and co-occurring mental health concerns. Through this work, I have provided individual and group therapy and collaborated with an interdisciplinary treatment team. This experience has helped me develop a thoughtful and flexible approach to working with people with a range of concerns.
I believe therapy can be a place where you can feel supported while also making meaningful changes. Together, we can work toward understanding where you are, where you want to go, and what steps can help you get there.
I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, & IBX insurances.
