Great to meet you!

My career in mental health stems from an innate desire to help others succeed and reach their full potential. I work with adults, couples, and teenagers navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My clients come from all walks of life, representing diverse cultural, religious, and ethnic backgrounds, and I bring genuine curiosity and deep respect to each person’s unique story.

My approach to therapy

I consider myself a generalist — I work with a wide range of people and psychological issues, from anxiety and depression to relationship challenges and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person. I draw on CBT, Mindfulness, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and other evidence-based methods depending on what works best for you. Rather than simply reducing symptoms, I help you build lasting skills, deepen self-understanding, and move toward meaningful growth.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a relaxed, judgment-free conversation where I do more listening than talking. I'll ask about what's bringing you in, what's been getting in the way, and what you're hoping for — but there's no pressure to have it all figured out. My goal for our first session is simply for you to leave feeling heard and with a sense of whether we're a good fit. I also offer a free phone consultation before we meet, so you can ask questions and get a feel for my style beforehand.
