Great to meet you!

Greetings,

I specialize in treating anxiety, codependency, and trauma-related disorders, offering services to both individuals and couples. I emphasizes the importance of rewriting personal narratives, helping patients unlearn carried shame, guilt, and negative beliefs to become emboldened versions of themselves. My therapy style integrates philosophies from Buddhism, Taoism, and Stoicism into my therapeutic approach. I value building secure, trusting relationships to facilitate lasting change and offers flexible scheduling, including evenings and most weekends, for both in-person and telehealth sessions.

My approach to therapy

My therapy style is deeply relational, existential, and narrative-driven, with an emphasis on unlearning rather than simply acquiring coping skills. My approach reflects a philosophical and humanistic foundation, integrating mindfulness, self-compassion, and empowerment to help patients reconstruct their self-narratives.
