Great to meet you!

You're exhausted from pretending everything is fine while your brain won't stop catastrophizing worst-case scenarios. I'm here to help! I'll meet you where you are in your mental wellness journey by offering a compassionate, yet directive approach to help you understand more about who you are and where you want to be. My goal in providing therapy is to promote a judgement free, non anxious presence so that you can explore and grow in ways that feel right to you. With over a decade of experience in mental health, I provide evidence-based, integrative therapy techniques tailored to your unique needs

My approach to therapy

I specialize in working with adults facing emotional distress, trauma, anxiety, and depression. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in proven therapeutic practices such as EMDR, CBT, and solution focused interventions. I focus on building resilience and empowering clients to regain a sense of control and clarity in their lives.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive space focused on getting to know one another. We’ll review what brings you to therapy, discuss your goals, and explore relevant background information at a pace that feels comfortable. I’ll explain confidentiality, answer any questions you have about the therapy process, and work with you to begin identifying next steps. There is no pressure to share everything at once, the first session is about building trust and setting a foundation for future work.
