Great to meet you!

I established this clinic to offer support and guidance to clients during challenging times, employing an empathetic approach. I prioritize creating a safe space for individuals to express themselves freely without judgment, fostering genuine empathy and understanding. With over a decade of experience as an outpatient therapist, I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds and walks of life. Additionally, I am an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, as well as the ENM, Poly, and Kink communities.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and have been certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). However, I believe that incorporating various modalities and techniques that I find beneficial to a client is essential. After all, one size doesn’t always fit all.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is about getting comfortable, not diagnosing you on the spot. We'll talk through what's bringing you in, whether that's anxiety, ADHD, depression, PTSD, or something else, and start mapping out what support could look like. I'll ask questions, you'll do most of the talking, and there's no pressure to have it all figured out. Many clients tell me they leave feeling lighter and genuinely heard, with a warm, safe, judgment-free space waiting for them each time they come back.
