Great to meet you!

My style is warm, direct, and down to earth. I work collaboratively with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. I integrate psychodynamic therapy, CBT, DBT, attachment-based, and interpersonal approaches to help clients gain insight and develop healthier coping strategies. I balance support with thoughtful guidance, helping clients feel understood while encouraging meaningful growth. Together, we will work toward reducing symptoms and creating a more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling life.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your needs. Together, we will explore the concerns bringing you to therapy, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. Depending on your needs, sessions may include practical coping skills, honest exploration, and examining how past experiences shape your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Our shared goal is to help you build greater self-confidence, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of clarity and authenticity in your life.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another in a comfortable, supportive environment. We will discuss your current concerns, personal history, strengths, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. There is no expectation to share everything at once - we will move at a pace that feels right for you. By the end of the session, we'll begin developing a personalized treatment plan based on your goals. My priority is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and confident that we have a clear direction for moving forward together.
