Great to meet you!

Hello! It takes courage to reach out for help and I am so glad you are here. I am passionate about supporting women, parents, children and families. I have worked at several outpatient clinics and schools in the past and I will guide you with compassion, no matter what season of life you may be in.

My approach to therapy

I use a trauma - sensitive, strengths based, culturally sensitive and individualized approach, tailored to meet your specific needs. Each person is unique and I draw from various evidence based approaches to support you.

What you can expect from me

We will discuss what brings you to therapy, identify your strengths and set goals. I will meet you where you are at and we will go at a pace that feels comfortable to you. I will support you and challenge you when needed as we work towards your goals, finding clarity, building resilience and hope while helping you learn new life skills on the path towards healing.
