Great to meet you!

Creating an environment for my clients to feel connected, recognized and supported is integral to my role as a therapist. I provide therapy to individuals of all ages, although I do specialize in working with adolescence and young adults. I invite you to reach out to me if you are ready to start your therapeutic journey and take a step towards mental wellness. We will work together to restore balance and harmony in your life.

My approach to therapy

My approach draws heavily upon several theories and modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), internal family systems (IFS), expressive arts, somatic therapy, and mindfulness practices. I have extensive experience working with individuals seeking support for anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and traumatic experiences.

What you can expect from me

During our therapy sessions we will focus on working towards the goals that we set together. I create a warm, supportive environment focused on helping you process difficult emotions, explore your identify, and heal your body and mind.
