Great to meet you!

I meet my patients where they are in their journey and support the process. Sometimes taking the first step to explore psychotherapy is confusing.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Many patients benefit from speaking to someone outside of their family or circle of friends. Often anxiety is a symptom of having too many responsibilities and not enough time. Relationship issues stem from ineffective communication patterns resulting in couples feeling discouraged or hopeless when searching for solutions. I encourage my patients to ask questions so they can find treatment that is the right fit for them.

What you can expect from our first session

I graduated from an advanced educational program in Clinical Psychology, specializing in psychodynamic approach to diagnosis and treatment. I made this commitment to expand my knowledge and experience to address the unique challenges of individuals and families in the community.
