Great to meet you!

Hello. My aim, as your therapist, is to create a comfortable environment, help you learn new coping tools to manage unhelpful thinking and emotion patterns, and resolve pain.

My approach to therapy

I use a generalist approach, meaning I infuse my therapy style with a variety of different modalities and frameworks. I try to tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs and help you meet your stated goals for therapy.

What you can expect from me

I like to give clients something tangible to take away from almost every session, whether that's a new way of thinking about a situation, or a breathing tool they can use to find calm and focus in stressful moments.
