Great to meet you!

I am committed to providing holistic, compassionate care for individuals of all backgrounds. With a passion for mental health, reproductive health, and life transitions, I offer a supportive, judgment-free space to help you achieve balance and well-being. Whether navigating hormonal changes, parenthood, anxiety, or other life challenges, I am here to provide guidance.

My approach to therapy

I tailor care to your unique needs. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on empowering you to take charge of your health.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where they feel truly heard from the very first session. I take time to gather a thorough history while allowing you to do most of the talking, using open-ended questions to understand your experiences, concerns, and goals. We’ll move at your pace, focusing on what feels most important to you, and work together to create a plan that feels collaborative and empowering.
