Great to meet you!

Mental healthcare has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I am committed to helping others. My therapeutic style builds on my compassionate, empathetic, and attentive nature. In the past, I have worked well with clients with anxiety, complex trauma, PTSD, narcissistic abuse, personality and/or mood disorders. I genuinely care about the people who entrust me within my therapy practice and consider being a therapist one of the greatest privileges of my life.

*Former clients are welcome to reach out if they want to resume therapy, even if I do not have scheduled openings on Headway.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is very solution-oriented. I believe there should be a point to therapy-whether it is to gain insight, build confidence, gather the tools you need to get through the many challenges life can present. If we can get there using humor, science, and determination- all the better!

What you can expect from me

The therapeutic relationship is very important, especially in the beginning stages. It can be helpful for you to have a general sense of what you hope to process or build upon in your life, but this can also be a collaborative process. Generally, I provide a very motivating foundation in session and it is one of the many tools I hope to share with you.
