Great to meet you!

Within my practice, I cultivate a non-judgemental space for self-exploration and growth. My approach is both warm and direct, creating a safe yet invigorating space for adolescents and adults dealing with a variety of issues including, depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges

A bit about my approach to therapy

I employ an integrative approach, blending psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy. Engaging in exploratory conversation about your early relationships and past experiences, to uncover insights into present-day dynamics. Together, we'll identify and challenge negative thought patterns replacing them with more balanced and constructive perspectives.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is to empower you, fostering a sense of self-agency that enables you to navigate life with confidence.
