Great to meet you!

I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is strength-based, collaborative, and tailored to each individual’s unique journey. I draw from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), with a strong focus on building healthy interpersonal relationships.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools to navigate challenges in their everyday lives. Together, we’ll work on identifying personal strengths, improving emotional regulation, and building healthier relationships.
