Great to meet you!

I bring both clinical training and real-world perspective to my work as a psychotherapist. I hold a master’s degree in Family Therapy, and my professional background includes working with adults navigating anxiety, mood concerns, stress, identity questions, and life transitions. My work is grounded in evidence-based care and focuses on helping clients build emotional awareness, practical coping skills, and resilience in everyday life. I value a therapeutic relationship that feels steady, respectful, and collaborative, where clients can explore challenges at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.

My approach to therapy

My approach helps you understand the deeper roots of your thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns. Drawing from family systems therapy, psychodynamic theory, EFT, and object relations, I tailor our work to your needs so you can gain clarity, break old cycles, and feel more grounded and authentic.

What you can expect from me

Early sessions focus on understanding what is contributing to these experiences beneath the surface, while integrating depth-oriented exploration with practical supports to promote emotional regulation and steadiness.

NOTE: I request that clients email me first prior to booking an appointment as my availability is not represented fully on the Headway calendar.
