Choosing a psychologist is a big decision, and I suspect you've thought about this for a while. You know that therapy is an investment in yourself, and you don't make investments without doing your research. You are looking for someone you feel safe and comfortable sharing your most difficult thoughts and feelings with. You want someone to listen carefully, to respect you and your experience and to be invested in your goals providing support that is specifically tailored to who you are (otherwise you'd just be buying a self-help book). That's what you deserve!

I am a Psychologist that understands that life can come with its share of challenges. During times of change, we often find ourselves navigating through a mix of emotions—loneliness, anxiety, and sadness can feel overwhelming. These experiences are something we all share, creating a connection among us, despite our differences. It’s so important to cultivate a safe space where we can express ourselves freely, feel heard, accepted, and supported through difficult times. I believe that counseling can be a powerful way to experience care and compassion. It’s a journey of healing, where we can explore hope and understanding.
