Great to meet you!

My training is focused on integrative, trauma-informed work, and I specialize in high-functioning anxiety, relational and developmental trauma, life transitions, challenging relationship patterns, rooted in earlier experiences. I blend insight-oriented therapy with practical strategies, helping clients understand themselves more deeply while creating meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

My approach is integrative—I balance deeper insight and self-understanding with concrete strategies you can use right away.

What you can expect from me

In our initial session, we’ll talk about what’s going on in your life right now, what you hope to change, and what you want from therapy. I’ll explain how I work, outline what you can expect in our sessions, and help you identify meaningful goals. From there, we’ll begin shaping a plan that feels realistic, supportive, and tailored to you.
