Great to meet you!

As a dedicated and compassionate therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate life’s most difficult transitions with clarity, resilience, and purpose. With extensive experience in trauma-informed care, attachment theory, and solution-focused strategies, I empower my clients to break free from limiting patterns, develop emotional regulation, and create lasting, meaningful change.

Clients often share that they feel seen, safe, and deeply understood in our work together. I believe that healing begins with a strong therapeutic alliance—and I’m committed to building that foundation from our first session. By blending empathy with evidence-based approaches, I tailor each session to meet your unique needs and goals. My ability to connect authentically with clients has led to high retention rates and a track record of measurable progress and success.

A bit about my approach to therapy

What sets my work apart is the way I combine deep empathy with practical, results-driven strategies. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, I take time to understand the whole person—your story, your strengths, your pain points—and tailor our work to fit you.

I integrate evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and trauma-informed care, while drawing from attachment theory, mindfulness practices, and inner child work when appropriate. This flexible, integrative style allows us to stay responsive to your evolving needs and goals.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients often leave sessions with me feeling more clear, grounded, and empowered. Whether we’re working through a specific issue or exploring patterns over time, my goal is to help you walk away with:

  • Practical tools you can apply in daily life to manage stress, regulate emotions, and communicate more effectively
  • New perspectives that shift how you see yourself, your relationships, and the challenges you're facing
  • A deeper sense of self-awareness and connection to your values, strengths, and goals
  • Emotional validation and support—knowing that your experiences matter and you don’t have to carry them alone

I aim to create a space where you can explore freely, feel deeply, and leave each session with a sense of progress—whether it’s a new insight, a calming strategy, or simply the relief of being heard. Over time, clients often report feeling more in control of their emotions, more confident in their choices, and more connected to their inner resilience.
