Great to meet you!

Are you looking for someone to hold you accountable? Have there been changes in your life that are stressful, overwhelming, and unmanageable? Do you need a safe space to talk and work through tough challenges? Let’s work together to develop solutions to any difficulty that you may be facing and break the negative cycles that are keeping you trapped.

As a therapist with 6 years of clinical experience, I help adults navigate stressful life transitions, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues, all while focusing on a holistic approach that focuses on your emotional, physical, spiritual, and social well-being. My integrative approach is empathetic, collaborative, and strengths-based, as I’m passionate about guiding you toward self-discovery and lasting change, fostering resilience and well-being in your life.

My approach to therapy

My goal is to provide you with the tools necessary to handle all of life’s challenges. Working together, you can expect a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment that incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Mindfulness-based practices to help you develop healthier coping skills and improve your overall well-being. I believe in honoring autonomy, diversity, empathy, and confidentiality, while practicing integrity and fidelity, which help me to be a compassionate, flexible, and understanding therapist. I look forward to fostering a trusting and supportive relationship in our work together.

What you can expect from me

In your first session and in every session, you will be met with kindness, unconditional positive regard, and a sprinkle of humor. This work is not easy, it is collaborative in nature. Expect to be challenged and supported along your journey.
