Great to meet you!

As a compassionate and strengths-based therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions, trauma recovery, anxiety, and relationship challenges. I create a safe and supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to make meaningful change.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and integrative, drawing from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Trauma-Informed Care. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, working together to explore patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools for emotional well-being.

Clients often describe my style as warm, direct, and nonjudgmental. I believe in the power of authentic connection and work to foster trust and openness in the therapeutic relationship. Whether you're looking to heal from the past, strengthen your coping skills, or gain clarity in your life, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is client-centered, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that each person holds the capacity for growth and healing. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, feelings, and life experiences.

I draw from a variety of evidence-based frameworks—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Attachment Theory, Trauma-Informed Care, and Mindfulness-Based Interventions—tailoring my methods to best fit each individual’s goals, strengths, and challenges. Whether you are seeking relief from anxiety or depression, working through trauma, or looking for greater self-understanding, I meet you where you are and help guide the path forward.

In our work together, I focus on building insight, fostering self-compassion, and developing practical tools to support emotional resilience and lasting change. I value authenticity, connection, and empowerment as central pillars in the therapeutic process.

What you can expect from our first session

Therapy offers clients a supportive and consistent space to explore their thoughts, feelings, and life experiences. Over time, clients can expect to gain emotional relief, a deeper understanding of themselves, and greater clarity around the challenges they are facing. Many find that therapy helps them develop healthier ways to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues. Through thoughtful conversation and evidence-based strategies, clients often build emotional resilience and learn practical tools to manage their lives more effectively.

As insight deepens, clients tend to become more self-aware, more confident in their choices, and more capable of setting boundaries and communicating effectively. Therapy also fosters personal growth—helping people reconnect with their values, heal from past wounds, and create more fulfilling relationships. While the process can look different for everyone, clients typically leave sessions feeling more empowered, grounded, and supported in making meaningful changes in their lives.
