Great to meet you!

I am a compassionate, trauma-informed psychotherapist dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your inner world and gain insight into the multiple factors that shape your life. While you know yourself best, life can be challenging. My goal is to instill hope, foster insight and build confidence—both in your relationship with yourself and with others—so you can live with greater peace of mind. Drawing from evidence-based practices rooted in Acceptant and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, offering person-centered, holistic care.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in guiding individuals through difficult life transitions, particularly grief and loss. If you recently lost a loved one or perhaps provide care for someone at the end-of-life, I am passionate about helping you navigate complex emotions and build resilience. I bring a deep sensitivity to existential processes, providing an understanding space.

What you can expect from me

Whether you are seeking support for mild anxiety or a more severe crisis, I am here to help you feel heard, seen and valued. You are not alone, and I am honored to hear your story and help you grow stronger along the way.
