Great to meet you!

My expertise is primarily in trauma work in combination with a wide range of experience in depression, anxiety, eating disorders, adjustment to difficult life transitions, personality, and mood disorders. I have worked to extensively to create a warm, secure place for each client to heal and become a healthier version of themselves.

My approach to therapy

I believe in making a spportive space for clients in order to elicit the most nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and emotions. Whether working with individuals or couples, I help clients uncover underlying emotional patterns, attachment dynamics, and cognitive distortions that may be impacting their well-being or relationships.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions with a deeper understanding of themselves, practical tools for navigating challenges, and a greater sense of emotional clarity.
