Great to meet you!

Great To Meet You!

With nearly two decades of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and practical support. I work with clients across the lifespan—from children and adolescents to adults at every stage of life. For the past four years, I have specialized in assessing individuals for Autism Spectrum Disorder, providing thoughtful and comprehensive evaluations designed to help clients and families better understand their unique strengths, needs, and experiences.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is primarily client-centered and solution-focused, with a sprinkle of psychodynamic therapy. I believe therapy does not have to be about changing who you are—it can be about understanding yourself more deeply, recognizing your strengths, and finding solutions that work for you that we will navigate together.

What you can expect from me

I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to listen without judgment, help you identify what is important to you, and work collaboratively toward meaningful change. I incorporate practical strategies while also exploring patterns, experiences, and relationships that may be influencing your current challenges.
