Great to meet you!

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to invest in your healing and growth today. Whether you’re a newcomer to therapy/counseling or an experienced client, I feel it’s a brave and wonderful thing to do the work of mental-emotional healing. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, stress/anxiety, career challenges, LGBTQ+ related issues, grief and loss and trauma disorder such as PTSD.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I see therapy/counseling as a collaborative process aimed at working towards and achieving the goals which are important to you. I employ a variety of therapeutic modalities and techniques to assist you with this dynamic process, including: cognitive behavioral therapy, strengths-based counseling, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, dialectical behavioral techniques, eye-movement desensitization and re-processing therapy, insight-oriented work, existential counseling and others.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients should walk away from our sessions feeling heard, understood and supported.
