Great to meet you!

The philosophy of my practice surrounds helping people who are experiencing difficulties in their everyday lives. Difficulties related to their careers, parenthood, relationships and life transitions. I specializes in working with adults to support their growth and healing. I believe it’s never too late to re-write your own story. With the help of practical tools you’ll learn how to successfully manage anxiety, depression and the unique set circumstances impacting your life. I use an evidence-guided, integrated, client-centered therapeutic approach to facilitate change.

My approach to therapy

I have an expertise in mediation, crisis management, work related performance improvement, anxiety and depression. I draw heavily from cognitive behavioral (CBT) and psychodynamic techniques. In May of 2025, I obtained my doctorate in clinical social work.

What you can expect from me

I tailor my approach depending on the challenges you’re facing to best meet you where you are. If you want to speak to someone about what your experiencing feel free to reach out so that we can work towards your healing, fulfillment and elevation
