Great to meet you!

You may be feelings sick and tired of being sick and tired. You dont want to spend time with family or friends because planning feels overwhelming. Your job performance is not as great as it used to be and at times you feel like quitting. Intellectually, you know whats wrong but emotionally, you dont know what to do.


Award winning Therapist — Backed by 18 years of clinical training, 7 years of therapy experience. I am a licensed psychotherapist that provides compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored to your unique needs. I help professionals heal from burnout, anxiety, depression, and trauma while reconnecting with themselves and the people they love.

My approach to therapy

I will support you to find the root cause of this hurt, help you dig deep to find and heal it. Insights are great to have, but without action, they will not make change. It’s not just talk, it’s real progress. My goal is to help you deeply understand the root of your struggles, build practical skills, and create meaningful improvements that last long after therapy ends. My approach is person centered and strength based, therefore I believe that the answers and strengths are within you. My role is to support you to express and foster that inner strength and truth.


I use a combination of practices including EMDR, Person Centered Therapy, CBT, CPT, DBT and Motivational Interviewing. I am known to provide a space of trust and free of judgment which will allow you to explore your present and past safely and comfortably.

What you can expect from me

The first session is an assessment where we begin to understand your history and what brought you to therapy. We will explore your past and patterns that may be impacting you today and your future. Next, we will focus on what you would like to achieve in therapy and what life would look like once you can move past whatever is having you be stuck. We will work together in detail on the steps you can take to move forward and feel better. However, every session doesnt have to be very structured or serious. Some days we may need to keep it light as my approach involves being person centered and strength based.
