Great to meet you!

In my professional practice, I work with children, teens, couples, adults, and families, tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each client. My background includes several years of experience in a non-profit adoption and foster care agency, which has deepened my understanding of trauma, attachment, and resilience. I bring compassion and warmth into my sessions, while also offering practical, evidence-based tools to support growth and healing.

My approach to therapy

In my own approach to therapy, I strive to create a compassionate and welcoming space where clients feel truly seen and understood. I bring warmth and empathy into each session while also offering practical tools that clients can apply in their daily lives. My goal is to balance emotional support with effective strategies, helping clients gain both comfort and concrete steps forward in their healing and growth.

What you can expect from me

Whether working with individuals or families, my goal is to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel empowered to navigate challenges and build stronger connections.
