Great to meet you!

Do you work in a high-stress environment and struggle to maintain balance and focus? Are you coping with anxiety, depression, or uncertainty about your life direction and relationships?

​Whether you want to improve performance, manage stress, or rediscover a sense of purpose, you don’t have to face these challenges alone.

I’m a clinical psychotherapist and a certified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and groups in both agency and corporate settings. I employ evidence-based practices to help clients navigate stress, workplace challenges, performance, anxiety, depression, chronic conditions, and life transitions with greater clarity, resilience, and self-compassion.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and compassionate. I will meet you where you are, integrating mindfulness and other evidence-based strategies to support your growth and help you take practical, meaningful steps toward lasting change.

What you can expect from me

We’ll start with an introductory session where you can share your story and what you hope to gain from therapy. In our work together, you can expect to be fully heard and supported as we explore your unique challenges and develop practical strategies for growth and emotional healing.

Reaching out for help takes courage and opens the door to insight and change. I’m here to listen without judgment and help you move toward the life you want to create.
