Great to meet you!

I am a clinician with many years of experience in the field, and my approach is warm, gentle when needed, and grounded in motivation and collaboration. I strive to help patients feel supported, heard, and empowered to make their own choices while learning to trust and connect with their inner voice. Recently, my work has become increasingly focused on supporting caregivers, including parents of neurodivergent children, individuals caring for aging parents, and those providing care for other loved ones, with an emphasis on validation, resilience, and sustainable self-care.

My approach to therapy

I use an integrative treatment model that incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), supportive therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches, tailoring care to each individual’s needs and goals.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a safe, nonjudgmental environment where we work collaboratively toward change; my mindset is that growth and transition take effort, and I am committed to supporting and guiding you through that process at a pace that feels right for you.
