Great to meet you!

Mental health is nothing to "work on later" or neglect. This is the place you can be vulnerable, emotional and free of judgement. I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I specialize in psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy. I help individuals understand themselves, learn to communicate effectively, improve their relationships with themselves and others, develop effective coping methods, decrease self-esteem issues, and reduce anxiety and depression.

What you can expect from our first session

Together we will work to identify and set goals that matter to you whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem or another personal objective. Your goals may evolve over time as you gain new insights. We can adjust our plan at any time to ensure it’s always realistic and relevant to you. I will provide you with the support and tools that you need to continue to move closer to where you want to be, even when things feel overwhelming.
