About Discover Therapy
It’s time to talk to someone whose focus is entirely on you
—Someone who isn’t your partner, parent, or friend. Someone who has the training to help you get unstuck and move forward.
Work with a highly trained therapist—not a random match
— Someone who provides expert, individualized therapy at your pace.
Therapy isn’t just about talking
—It’s about understanding yourself, making sense of your experiences, and figuring out what comes next.
Whether this is your first time in therapy or you’ve been here before, I’m glad you’re here.
Looking for the right therapist? It’s not just about finding someone qualified—it’s about finding someone who understands your experiences.
I help individuals and couples navigate life transitions and relationship challenges with expert, research-informed therapy.

I bring both professional expertise and a deep curiosity about the human mind to our work together.
You will know you are the center of my attention during our sessions. I am fully engaged with you at every moment.
