Great to meet you!

I completed my MSW in 2019 and spent 5 years working in the outpatient department of a psychiatric hospital, providing me experience with treating people from all walks of life. Since shifting to private practice, I focus on trauma, personality disorders, perfectionism and "eldest daughter syndrome".

My approach to therapy

I consider myself a relational therapist and believe the relationship we foster is the vehicle for change and healing. Sessions can include laughter, tears, some challenging moments, and a whole lot of support. I am eclectic in approach and focus primarily on somatic type approaches and DBT skills.

What you can expect from me

The first session will be getting to know one another, your goals, life history, and current challenges. I believe in providing a lot of education on the therapeutic process and what to expect to soothe anxiety. We will collaborate throughout the session to develop a plan to guide our time together.
