Great to meet you!

My work has always been driven by my desire to help people. I know that might sound cliched, and maybe it is! But I'm also a firm believer that some clichés are there for a reason, and this is one of mine. Life can be so difficult - but it doesn't always have to. I strive to work together to find and resolve what it is that brought you here in a way where you feel supported, heard, and accepted.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I primarily operate through the lens of psychodynamic, IFS, and process-oriented therapy; together, we'll examine how your background influences your mindset and behaviors today. I also frequently integrate behavioral modification in my sessions (such as CBT and DBT) and work on skills with you that might be useful to help you get out of the feeling of being 'stuck.'

What you can expect from our first session

My core values are empathy, honesty, and kindness. I think it’s so important to recognize that everyone has their own story and background and that we should be kind as much as possible. ​​
