Great to meet you!

Life can be overwhelming, and we all experience times of uncertainty, imbalance, or emotional pain. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. Seeking support is a brave and meaningful step toward greater well-being. For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of assisting adults and teens work through depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, chronic stress, grief, and trauma.

I’m here to help you access inner strengths and develop new strategies. Together we’ll create a plan to reach your goals.

My approach to therapy

I tailor therapy to your unique needs, using both traditional and innovative evidence-based approaches to create a safe, supportive space where you can deepen self-understanding and confidence. My expertise includes meditation and mindfulness training as well as psychedelic (ketamine)-assisted psychotherapy for deep exploration and healing. We can incorporate these practices if they feel right for you.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, you'll have the opportunity to share your story, and we'll begin creating a personalized approach to reach your goals. Finding the right therapist—someone you can feel comfortable with and truly connect to—is an essential part of the process. I strive to create a welcoming, non-judgemental space where you feel heard and valued. I look forward to meeting you!
