Great to meet you!

I am an individual and family therapist with over a decade of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and parents navigating challenging behaviors. I specialize in helping clients manage life transitions and cope with symptoms related to Depression, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and grief.

My approach to therapy

My style is warm, empathic, and grounded, with a touch of light humor. I use a client-centered, solution-focused approach, focusing on present challenges and drawing on the past only when it meaningfully informs what is happening today. I view life as a journey where challenges and conflict can become opportunities for growth. I look forward to every journey I get to be a part of.

What you can expect from me

I understand the first session is seeing if I would be a good fit for you. I try to make it as painless as possible for those who have never tried therapy before and try to keep the first session relaxed. If you are afraid of awkward silences, that wont be the case here (unless you wan it) as I am sure my regular clients these days probably want me to talk less lol! We are all a work in progress and I do not pretend that I have it all figured out.
