Great to meet you!

Do you long to feel heard, seen and understood? Starting therapy can feel daunting, and my goal is to meet you exactly where you are, tailoring our sessions to fit your unique needs. As a therapist with training in a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities, I utilize a psychodynamic approach to delve deep into the underlying patterns and emotions that shape your experiences.

My approach to therapy

Think of me as a passenger on your bus, helping you navigate the twists and turns of your path. Together, we will explore and work towards a more fulfilling and self-aware future. Your journey is yours to lead, and I'm here to support you with every step

I will offer you a place where you can unravel your emotions, find clarity amidst the chaos, and discover the strength within you. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based.

What you can expect from me

I will meet you where you are and help you move forward at your own pace. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, life satisfaction, unresolved traumas, relationship issues, or anything else- I'm here to help.

During our first session, we’ll cover some logistics and start forming a therapeutic relationship. I’ll ask about your present concerns, support system, interests, strengths, barriers, and diagnoses. You’ll have time to ask questions, and explore goals for future sessions.
