Great to meet you!

I am an honest and compassionate therapist with a direct approach to therapy. I believe therapy works best when communication is open, clear, and collaborative. I encourage curiosity, openness, and personal growth, and I aim to empower clients to take an active role in their healing and decision-making process.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and grounded in meeting clients where they are. I focus on understanding each client's unique challenges and goals, offering support, guidance, and practical tools to help them navigate life's difficulties and create meaningful change. I incorporate CBT, trauma-informed care, strength-based strategies, Motivational Interviewing, DBT, Humanistic, and Behavioral to address thought patterns, emotional regulation, and behavior change in a clear, practical, and empowering way.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, we will review your concerns, discuss your goals, and gather relevant history. You can expect open, honest conversation in a supportive space. There is no pressure to share more than you are ready to. Together, we will begin identifying next steps and treatment approach that fits your needs.
