Great to meet you!

As a mental health advocate, I am dedicated to providing personalized and integrative mental health care to my clients. My focus is on helping individuals achieve their goals through therapy, medication management, holistic practices, and other evidence-informed interventions. I strongly believe in empowering my clients to take an active role in their mental health and providing them with the tools and resources they need to succeed.

My approach to therapy

Many clients have excellent progress applying the practice of mind-body skills & guided imagery, especially when processing trauma, grief, or exploring attachment patterns developed in childhood. Schema therapy is wonderful for exploring beliefs developed early on.

I believe there is a place for medications, & they help many people, I also understand that many people do not benefit from medications.

By taking a proactive approach to your care, we can work together to develop a personalized plan.

What you can expect from me

I work with my clients to develop self-compassion, increased self-esteem, resilience, encouragement during times of high stress or low motivation, better time-management, & adaptation to transitions such as starting a new job. I can help clients reduce their alcohol intake & safely taper off of medications.

I love using tools such as pictures/apps/resources to provide additional support.

Clients tell me they "feel much better" after our sessions, that I am "very responsive", & they like my "vibe".
