Great to meet you!

As a therapist, I believe real change comes from collaboration, acceptance, honesty and ownership. I create a space where you can show up as yourself, without pretense, and where we can look clearly at both your struggles and your strengths. Growth happens when we slow down, stay present and truly know ourselves.

My approach to therapy

I use evidence-based approaches which means we’ll not only work on your thoughts and behaviors, but also pay attention to how stress, trauma, and emotions show up for you. I believe healing happens when we combine practical skills with self-awareness and presence, helping you build resilience, regulate emotions, and deepen your connection to yourself. Some approaches that I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my focus is on getting to know you-your story, what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to gain. We’ll talk about your current challenges, your goals, and any questions or concerns you may have about the process.
