Great to meet you!

I have over 15 years of experience in healthcare, with much of my work focused on supporting individuals through mental health challenges. I’ve worked in crisis, inpatient, and outpatient settings which has given me a broad perspective on how people experience and navigate difficult moments in their lives.

I work with both children and adults, with a special focus on depression and anxiety. I know how heavy and overwhelming these can feel, and I aim to meet each person with understanding, patience, and respect for where they are in their journey.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and centered on building trust. I want you to feel comfortable being open about what you’re going through, without fear of judgment. Together, we’ll work to better understand your experiences and create a treatment plan, whether that includes medication, coping strategies, or both, that feels manageable and meaningful for you.

My goal is to help you feel more like yourself again, with tools and support that make a real difference in your day-to-day life.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and start building a clear understanding of what’s been going on. I’ll ask about your current concerns, symptoms, and any relevant history, including past treatments or medications, so we can get a full picture of your needs.

I aim to create a calm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable being open. You don’t need to have everything figured out, part of my role is to help make sense of what you’re experiencing.

By the end of the session, we’ll work together to identify initial goals and outline a plan moving forward.

My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and with a clearer sense of direction.
