Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Psychotherapist who is passionate about helping people feel deeply seen, heard and valued. I bring a warm, grounded presence to sessions, while also gently challenging you when it serves your growth. My role is not only to hold space for your experiences but also to empower you to uncover your own strengths and inner wisdom. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where compassion and accountability meet.

My approach to therapy

My approach is client-centered, trauma informed, and identity affirming. I often work clients navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and unresolved trauma. I draw from psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral orientations while integrating mind-body practices to nurture the whole person. In our work together, I aim to balance deep reflection with practical tools. I will both support and challenge you with care, always making space for empowerment and authentic growth.

What you can expect from me

Clients often leave sessions with greater clarity, self-understanding and tangible strategies they can apply in their daily lives. You can expect to feel more connected to your own voice, more confident in navigating challenges and better equipped with tools to regulate emotions and shift patterns that no longer serve you. Growth takes time and effort; therapy works when you actively engage in it. Together, we'll create lasting change.
