Great to meet you!

I’m a warm, solution-focused, and person-centered therapist who values direct and authentic communication. My approach is grounded in respect and collaboration, working with clients to navigate challenges and build meaningful change. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing psychosis, OCD, and autism, and also have expertise in ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, BPD, and suicidal ideation. I work with clients across a range of concerns, including grief, relationship struggles, men’s and women’s issues, and PTSD. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered to grow.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and goal-oriented. I combine a person-centered style with practical, solution-focused strategies to help clients gain insight and take meaningful steps forward. I am direct but supportive, creating a space where clients feel safe to explore challenges while also being gently pushed toward growth. I tailor my work to each individual’s needs, often integrating evidence-based practices like CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care. I specialize in helping individuals navigate complex mental health issues such as psychosis, OCD, autism, and BPD, while also supporting those dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions with greater clarity, practical tools, and a deeper understanding of themselves. I aim to create a space that feels safe, respectful, and empowering—where clients are both supported and challenged. Together, we’ll identify meaningful goals, build coping strategies, and work through difficult thoughts and emotions. Whether you're navigating a diagnosis, working through trauma, or managing daily stress, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and equipped to handle life’s complexities.
