Great to meet you!

I am a mental health therapist who has had the privilege of supporting individuals through a wide range of life's challenges. My practice is focused on working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and chronic health conditions. These areas are fundamental aspects of mental health that, when addressed with empathy and evidence-based interventions, can significantly enhance one's quality of life.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy includes evidenced based methods such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as mindfulness and relaxation techniques. By fostering a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment, I encourage my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings openly, paving the way for genuine healing and growth.

What you can expect from me

Whether you are new to therapy or have tried it in the past, I will provide a stable anchor as you navigate change, and find new pathways toward a fulfilling life. During our individual sessions, we will identify areas of strength. Together, we will process challenges, and create strategies that will transform and empower you as you navigate through life’s complexities.
