Great to meet you!

With over a decade of experience in mental health care, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and achieve their goals. My approach combines evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with a compassionate, client-centered focus. Trained in mental performance coaching and integrative attachment, offering clients a holistic perspective to optimize mental health and build secure healthy relationships.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we will identify your strengths and develop personalized strategies to help you thrive. Using tools from CBT, DBT, trauma-focused care, integrative attachment approaches, and mental performance coaching, I help clients build coping skills, enhance emotional regulation, and foster lasting change.

What you can expect from our first session

Whether you’re managing anxiety, overcoming trauma, or seeking support through life transitions, I aim to provide a safe space for growth and healing. Taking the first step in therapy is a brave and empowering decision. I’m here to walk alongside you as you work toward a brighter, healthier future. Feel free to reach out to schedule an initial consultation.
