Great to meet you!

I’m an experienced therapist with a direct, solution-focused approach, helping you quickly identify what’s keeping you stuck and move toward meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

I focus on the behaviors that may be hindering your growth, using them as a guide to uncover deeper patterns, past trauma, or underlying factors that may not be immediately obvious but continue to show up in your life. Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), DBT, and mindfulness-based approaches, I tailor therapy to help you build insight, resilience, and lasting progress.

What you can expect from me

The initial session is designed to establish rapport, explore your reasons for seeking therapy, and develop a preliminary understanding of your goals. A primary focus is ensuring that I am an appropriate fit for your needs, as a strong therapeutic alliance is essential to effective treatment.
