Great to meet you!

Thank you for taking the time to consider me as your therapist. I became a therapist to help empower others to discover their unique and individual potential so that they may live a fulfilled life. It is my passion to validate and normalize the struggles people may face on their journey to autonomy and provide support and healing. Wherever you are in your personal journey, I am ready to walk alongside you and determine together how I can support you in reaching your goals.

My approach to therapy

My areas of expertise include working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression and trauma. I also enjoy supporting clients who are navigating life transitions and relationship challenges. My goal is to be present with my clients as they learn to love themselves. I support my clients as we uncover what makes them strong, authentic and worthy.

What you can expect from me

Using research-based methodologies, I offer specific tools and practices to help my clients stay present and connected as they navigate the inevitable ups and downs of life. I approach my practice with humility and have a gentle and open style. I am active and responsive with client’s during our therapy sessions, while allowing space for calm and acceptance.
