Great to meet you!

I truly believe that most people inherently know what’s best for them. Sometimes tapping into that self-knowledge and awareness can be a challenge with all the noise infiltrating our daily lives.

I have a special interest in women’s issues, particularly postpartum mental health and societal challenges faced by adolescent girls. I also have a special interest in working with children, who are filled with big feelings, big thoughts and big dreams that can overwhelm their little hearts and minds.

My approach to therapy

I strive to help filter through all that noise to create an environment where clients are given the space and support to express their thoughts, feelings and experiences of the world, in truly unique and individualized ways. My approach is primarily client-centered while including aspects of other therapeutic modalities based on the needs of the individual client.

What you can expect from me

It’s your journey, but I’m here to come along. With my support, I hope that you feel seen, heard and understood.
