Great to meet you!

Do you have changes that you want to make in your life?

I work closely with clients navigating adjustments in life, Pregnancy, Post partum, and pregnancy loss related issues. Self-esteem challenges, relational dysfunctions, and much more. Together, we will explore and create a path to new experiences that are achievable and fulfilling.

My approach to therapy

I use person-centered frameworks to help clients attune to their internal world. This promotes increased self-awareness and brings meaning insight into experiences. I commonly use CBT to help with recognizing and reshaping unhelpful thoughts that contribute to your decreased emotional state of being. My approaches are collaborative and empowering.

I also believe that proactive mental health practices have a significant impact on developing lifelong skills. I enjoy working with children in Child-centered Play Therapy to help promote healthy emotional awareness and regulation skills that will be beneficial for them now and later in life.

What you can expect from me

A first session with me would be an opportunity for you to explore the therapeutic dynamics and decide if I am the best fit for you according to your need. In the first session you will have the opportunity to tell me the things that are concerning you the most, and together we will create goals that align with your desired outcome. I see therapy as a partnership. One in which the client is the expert. This means that I will work alongside you as you process experiences and gain new insight. I will offer professional guidance and support as you decide what goals will be best for you to focus on during our work together.
