Great to meet you!

I believe that connection is the foundation of growth, and I try to create a warm and non judgmental space for my clients to process difficult emotions, and identify patterns that are no longer working. Therapy offers a wonderful opportunity to discover more about who we are and what it is that we want. I have over 20 years of experience and look forward to working with you. I am currently seeing clients in-person and virtually.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am committed to helping you by establishing a warm and non judgmental therapeutic environment, where we can explore the barriers to achieving your goals.

What you can expect from our first session

Deciding to start therapy is often a difficult decision. The goal of our first session together is to get an understanding of what it is you want to work on. We will decide if we are a good fit to work on your particular concerns together.
