Great to meet you!

Welcome! It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help, and it's very important that you find a therapist you connect with--someone who can really see you so that you can begin to truly see yourself. As a psychologist, I see part of my role as helping you bring more light into your darker moments, and to help you discover what keeps you stuck so that you can live a life of greater peace and freedom.

My approach to therapy

We can identify so much with our thoughts and be so avoidant of our emotions that we forget to be curious. But learning to be curious of our experience is the doorway to greater insight and personal freedom. Through a mindful and individualized approach, I help clients deepen their self-understanding so they can hold themselves with kindness while making the concrete transformations they seek. I believe good therapy is both science and art, and each session is its own unique encounter.

What you can expect from me

Good therapy is not about advice or knowing the answers in advance. Good therapy is a personalized journey of self-discovery and transformation. Many times you will find the answers you seek lie within you but may need a guide to help you dive deeper into your embodied emotions to find them. Other times you may need concrete skills and external resources. Each journey is as unique as you are.
