Great to meet you!

With 20 + years of clinical psychotherapist, my approach is grounded in an intergrated, evidence based framework tailed to each client's unique needs. My focus is to build a collaborative, empathetic therapeutic alliance to help you navigate life stressors, transitions, heal through past trauma, and develop sustainable coping strategies.

My approach to therapy

My practice blends several core therapeutic modalities: Strengths- Based Perspective - identify and amplify your existing resilence and personal strengths to empower your growth. Cognitive Beahvior Therapy -identifing and reframing negative and/or distoring thinking patterns-actively replacing them with with healthier more adaptive perspectives. Psycodynamic Therapy- exploring how early life experiences and unconscious patterns shape your current thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, providing deeper self awareness.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to provide a non-judgemental space where you feel truly heard, allowing us to collaboratively work through barriers and foster meaningful, long lasting change.
