Great to meet you!

Welcome! Most of us have areas that need healing and behaviors that we want to change, but we don’t know where to begin. As a psychotherapist, my goal is simple: I want to give you the tools and insights you need to live a happier and more fulfilling life. I will partner with you in your emotional journey, empower you to look at your history and gain insight into how the past impacts you today.

My approach to therapy

In Individual Therapy, you will meet with me in a confidential and emotionally safe space to discuss your life journey and goals in therapy. You will work on healing from the past, address current challenges, and find ways to improve your life.

In couples therapy, I will act as a neutral facilitator, creating a safe space to freely talk about your feelings, frustrations, and fears. You will collaborate to reduce conflict and find healthier ways to interact.

What you can expect from me

Each session is approximately 50 minutes long. Longer sessions are available but must be booked in advance. The course of therapy exists on a continuum and varies for each client. Some clients may only need one or two sessions, while others may choose to stay in therapy for years.
