Great to meet you!

Therapy should be as unique as the individual seeking it—what works for one person may not work for another. I provide a relaxed, welcoming environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. My approach is grounded in attachment theory and psychodynamic therapy, meaning I help clients uncover how past relationships and experiences shape their current patterns, behaviors, and emotional well-being

My approach to therapy

I enjoy working with both individuals and couples, helping them navigate relationship challenges, communication struggles, and emotional barriers. My practice is client-focused, meaning I meet you where you are, honoring your experiences, strengths, and goals. I believe that you are the expert on yourself, and my role is to provide a supportive, insightful space to help you uncover new perspectives and move toward the changes you seek.

What you can expect from me

I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We will create treatment goals and a solid foundation for future sessions.
