Great to meet you!

Hi there! I am an integrative psychotherapist with 6+ years of clinical experience working 1:1 and in group setting with adults and older adults. My passion is helping people navigate their various life challenges and transitions while helping them develop adaptive coping strategies and find inner strength to achieve an optimal life functioning.

My approach to therapy

I take on a collaborative approach because it is important for me that my patients feel empowered about their treatment plans and goals.

I utilize evidenced based practices. I am trained in (i.e., CBT, DBT, MBCT, MI, ERP, CBT for Insomnia and CBT for Eating Disorders). I will also incorporate a myriad of mindfulness exercises and breathwork to aid with patients overall wellness journey.

What you can expect from me

I foster a warm, safe and comfortable environment. I strongly believe that what you put in is what you get out. Even the most challenging and intense session can be transformed into something fruitful, so good vibes only in sessions!
