Great to meet you!

Each of us has our own story and sometimes our experiences leaves us feeling confused, frightened, sad, and often tremendously isolated. I believe therapy can unravel harmful repetitive thought processes and behaviors. Your painful experiences do not have to define you.

I specialize in anxiety and depressive disorders, childhood trauma including emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, obsessive-compulsive disorders. Also, I work with clients who are experiencing relationship issues, grief, and life transitions. One of my biggest strengths is helping my clients live purposeful and meaningful lives.

Anyone who is stressed out- I am your super-soulful solution focused therapist

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy always starts with listening to my client's needs. My methods evolve through constant customization and mutual collaboration. Therapy with me will include exploring aspects of life that are not working well and constructing solutions.

What you can expect from me

I listen to my clients' stressors and try to prioritize what is both the most pressing goal to attend to first as well as simple short-term stress reduction secrets ( I got tons) so my clients feel they are able to attend therapy with me next week.
