Great to meet you!

Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Starting therapy can feel challenging or uncertain and that's completely okay! I am committed to helping you feel supported, understood, and empowered throughout your journey. If you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck, or disconnected, therapy can provide a space to slow down, process, and work towards meaningful change. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and direct when needed, helping you gain insight, recognize patterns, and build healthier ways of coping.

*Offering both in person and virtual sessions

My approach to therapy

I lean towards CBT and DBT because I've seen how powerful our thoughts can be and how much they influence the way we experience our lives. Learning how to recognize, challenge, and reframe our thoughts, while creating space before reacting can lead to change.

My approach is collaborative, supportive, and insight oriented. I help clients manage stress, negative relationship dynamics, and work through life transitions. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and therapy can be a powerful space to better understand yourself and your patterns. There is no one size fits all approach, so I aim to meet you where you are while also encouraging growth and positive change.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where you can share at your own pace. I will ask questions to better understand your background, experiences, and current challenges, while also giving you the space to express what feels most important.
