Compassionate, Evidence-based Therapy

Life can feel overwhelming at times…whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship stress, major life transitions, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what’s next. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

At Evergreen Psychology & Wellness, therapy is a space to slow down, feel understood, and make meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we’ll work to better understand what’s getting in the way and build tools that support clarity, resilience, and lasting growth.

You deserve support that feels thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in real understanding.

A Thoughtful, Personalized Approach to Mental Health

No two people or stories are the same. Therapy at Evergreen Psychology & Wellness is tailored to your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I take an integrative, evidence-based approach, drawing from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based strategies.

Our work together is collaborative and practical, while also allowing space for reflection, insight, and emotional depth. Whether you’re looking for coping strategies, deeper self-understanding, or support through a challenging season, therapy is shaped around what you need.

Areas of Expertise

Have you ever wondered why you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward despite your best efforts? Therapy offers a space to explore these questions with curiosity and support. Rather than focusing on labels or diagnoses, therapy helps you better understand yourself (your patterns, strengths, and challenges) and identify meaningful ways to create change.

Therapy isn’t about being “fixed.” It’s about gaining insight, building skills, and developing greater emotional awareness so you can feel more grounded, confident, and aligned in your life. Whether you’re seeking clarity, support, or direction during a difficult season, therapy can help you make sense of what’s going on and move forward with intention.

Anxiety & Stress

I offer individual therapy for young adults and adults who are ready to improve their lives and create a life worth living. Individual therapy is ideal for those who want to make lasting changes by understanding and reshaping their thinking patterns, behaviors, and emotions. I work with you to navigate challenges, build healthier habits, and develop the skills to manage life’s ups and downs. Whether you're dealing with specific issues or simply want to grow and thrive, I provide personalized support to help you build a stronger, more fulfilling life.

Perinatal Mental Health

I support individuals and couples navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood—a time that can bring joy alongside unexpected emotional challenges. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, birth trauma, or the identity shifts that come with becoming a parent, therapy offers a space to feel understood and supported. Together, we work to reduce overwhelm, build coping tools, and help you feel more confident and connected during this transition. I am a certified perinatal mental health provider (PMH-C).

Infertility & Reproductive Mental Health

I provide therapy for individuals and couples coping with infertility, fertility treatment, pregnancy loss, and reproductive decision-making. These experiences can bring grief, uncertainty, strain on relationships, and a deep sense of isolation. In therapy, I help clients process loss, manage anxiety, navigate complex emotions, and strengthen communication with partners and loved ones. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, supporting you as you move through difficult decisions and find steadiness during an often overwhelming journey.

Sport & Performance Psychology

I offer sport psychology services for adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating the mental and emotional demands of performance, competition, and achievement. Whether you’re struggling with confidence, performance anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, injury recovery, or the pressure to consistently perform at a high level, therapy provides a supportive space to build resilience, strengthen mental skills, and develop a healthier relationship with both performance and self-worth. Together, we’ll work to help you feel more grounded, focused, and supported both within and beyond your sport or profession.

Individual Therapy

Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something to change, individual therapy offers a space to slow down and be heard. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, depression, relationship challenges, and more. Together, we'll explore what's getting in the way, build skills that actually fit your life, and work toward greater clarity, confidence, and wellbeing — at a pace that feels right for you.

Couples Therapy

I provide couples therapy for partners who want to strengthen their relationship and work through challenges together. Whether you're dealing with communication issues, trust concerns, or simply want to deepen your connection, I will help you navigate these challenges and build a healthier, more fulfilling partnership. Through therapy, you'll learn to understand each other’s perspectives, improve communication, and develop tools to manage conflict in a constructive way.
