Great to meet you!

Clients should know that I bring not only years of clinical experience, but also genuine care, curiosity, and commitment to every session. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a safe, judgment-free space where you can be yourself—messy parts and all. I take an eclectic, personalized approach, drawing from proven methods while always keeping your unique story at the center. My goal is to walk alongside you, helping you feel more empowered, understood, and equipped to handle whatever life brings.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual. I draw from a range of evidence-based practices—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and psychodynamic techniques—to create a plan that fits your unique needs and goals. I believe in meeting clients where they are, building a strong therapeutic relationship, and helping you uncover insights and tools that lead to real, lasting change. Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or looking to better understand yourself, we’ll work together to make therapy a meaningful and empowering experience.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to walk away from sessions feeling more grounded, understood, and equipped with practical strategies to manage life’s challenges. Whether we’re working on emotional regulation, healing past wounds, or navigating everyday stressors, each session is designed to offer insight, support, and tools that fit your real life. My goal is for you to feel seen and supported, and to leave with a clearer path forward.
