Great to meet you!

I place great value on equipping you with the social and psychological resources and skills necessary to thrive. It's difficult to focus on the deeper aspects of our mental health when this is left unaddressed. As a depth-oriented therapist, I also work with you to uncover your shadow: those hidden aspects of your personality that influence your life patterns. Identifying these unconscious patterns, understanding how they've been built, and why they continue to persist gives you the power of choice in how you'd like to show up to life moving forward.

My approach to therapy

My specialties include: addictions, substance use disorders, disordered eating, relational conflict, codependency, ADHD, anxiety and stress, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, identity and personality development - if you are looking for a therapist who is relatable, direct, open, honest, and compassionate, you’re in the right place.

What you can expect from me

Expertise in the areas you want to focus on and the quality of the therapeutic relationship are both important factors in successful therapy. The easiest way to know if I am a good fit is to schedule a free consultation with me via my website link.
