You don’t have to navigate life’s big changes and hurdles alone. Whether you're grieving, managing persistent anxiety, feel like you're "too much" or "not enough", or can't shake the sadness, I offer a grounded, compassionate space to help you gain clarity and build resilience. I believe that in our most vulnerable moments, there is room for connection and a path toward growth. My approach is warm, attentive, and genuinely collaborative. I work with individuals to help them manage the complexities of life changes, grief, depression, and relationship shifts with a focus on self-compassion and practical change.

My approach includes a blend psychodynamic insights with evidence-based strategies from Emotions Focused Individual Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and DBT-informed skills. This means we look at how your past impacts your present while developing manageable tools to help you live a life more aligned with your personal values.

If you're reading this, you're probably feeling like you don't know how to move forward on your own. Getting help to support and protect your most precious resource, your mind, is a wise, brave decision! If you're someone who is feeling stuck and has a desire for change, I could be the right therapist for you.
