Great to meet you!

Welcome- I'm glad you're here. I'm a mental health therapist with over 13 years experience in private practice, and my focus is on creating a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard. Using a client-centered approach, I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, family dynamics including couples therapy, coping with life's challenges, and women's issues. Together, we'll work toward clarity, balance, and healthier relationships.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I draw from both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs. These approaches help individuals manage anxiety and depression, support couples and families in navigating relationship dynamics, and address attachment related challenges from the past. Together, we'll explore patterns that may be holding you back, uncover deeper emotions, and create practical solutions that encourage growth and healing.

What you can expect from me

In our work together, I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood and empowered. Throughout our sessions, clients can expect to gain greater clarity around their emotions, practical tools to manage challenges like anxiety or relationship stress, and deeper insight into the patterns that may be holding them back. My goal is to help you build stronger connections, feel more grounder, and leave each session with a sense of direction and hope.
