Great to meet you!

My techniques include person-centered and cognitive behavioral therapy supplemented with family systems therapy and solution focused therapy. For over 13 years, my practice has been on helping people feel listened to, understood, and empowered to better manage emotions, thoughts, and sensations. I have completed trainings led by renowned experts on loss, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, attachment wounds, just to name a few.

My approach to therapy

I help people experiencing overwhelm feel a lot more supported and understood. Are you feeling stuck, exhausted, and lacking motivation? Are you feeling anxious and on edge or paralyzed, depleted and disconnected? You don't deserve to suffer, it doesn't have to be this way and you don't have to figure this out alone. We can work together to get to understand the root cause of what keeps us stuck in unhelpful patterns and figure out how to live a fulfilling, meaningful life.

What you can expect from me

I believe that everyone has the capacity to find healing and growth from negative experiences. I believe that individuals have the ability to choose how to make meaning from their experiences to lead a more fulfilling life. I hope to provide safety and trust in a therapeutic relationship to build confidence, strength, and self-esteem to instill a greater capacity to effectively navigate through the challenges and opportunities of life.
