Great to meet you!

Taking the first steps towards working on yourself can be intimidating, but here you are, doing it. Take a moment to be proud of this step and know that you can take the next one too.

A bit about my approach to therapy

If you find yourself in a situation where you're encountering obstacles and in the process of grappling with the weight of anxiety or depression or feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of adapting to significant life changes, I want to assure you that I may be the right person to guide you on your journey toward achieving your goals.

What you can expect from our first session

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Practices, Psychoeducation, and Narrative Therapy, among others.
