Great to meet you!

I believe in providing a warm, non-judgmental, person-centered environment where you can feel safe to explore your experiences and work toward meaningful change. I specialize in working with individuals who are processing past trauma, struggling with anxiety and/or depression, navigating the challenges of being an adult child of a narcissistic parent, or experiencing symptoms of ADHD.

My approach centers on individual talk therapy and creating a genuine therapeutic connection that allows you to better understand yourself—including your thoughts, emotions, experiences, and memories. By exploring the deeper layers of our experiences and identifying patterns that may be keeping us stuck, we can begin to understand what is holding us back and develop the insight and tools needed to move forward.

I believe therapy can be a powerful vehicle for self-discovery, personal growth, and creating a more fulfilling life. Whether you are new to therapy or have tried it before, I welcome the opportunity to hear your story, understand what brings you to therapy, and work together toward the future you want for yourself.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a collaborative approach using elements from Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Psycheducation.

What you can expect from me

A warm and friendly open session where we build rapport and trust as we begin to identify goals of treatment.
