Great to meet you!

As a therapist I understand that it is a privilege to be a part of someone's journey. I have worked as a medical social worker over the past decade and have had the opportunity to work with many people across incredibly diverse and varying backgrounds and experiences. A core principle that guides my life and practice is kindness, which I will strive to extend to you in our work together. Please reach out to discuss appointment times that work for you, I have varying availability and likely can find a time that works for you.

My approach to therapy

My goal is to help you process and understand whatever it is that you are facing. I use a non-judgmental and Humanistic approach to my therapy. There is no hierarchy in my practice, as I believe you likely possess all the answers, I'm just here to help you find them. I believe the most successful therapeutic experiences are with someone you trust and relate to and therefore I strive to build a strong foundation of mutual consideration with all of my clients.

What you can expect from me

I hope my clients will leave sessions feeling empowered, relieved, and more settled in their sense of self. My ultimate goal is to help you embrace your genuine self, and to feel joy and pride in the person you are.
