I believe that we're at our strongest when we have meaningful, supportive connections in our lives. My focus is on developing these types of connections with my clients - ones where they feel genuinely cared for, safe, and supported in their journey towards feeling more fulfilled in their lives. My aim is always to help my clients feel heard, empowered, and more confident in their ability to navigate struggles. I'm always in their corner, and it's important to me that they feel this way. At the end of the day, feeling like I've provided someone with meaningful and support is why I love this work.

I will introduce new skills to improve your interpersonal relationships, manage life stressors, grief, trauma, workplace struggles, anxiety, and low mood symptoms so that you can enjoy the life you’ve always wanted with confidence!

Are you feeling stuck, alone, lost, or misunderstood? Do you know where you want to be but just don’t know how to get there? Often the challenges in life feel like being lost in a dense forest, with no clear path out. My role is to be your map.

I specialize in working with clients who feel stuck, depressed, or anxious. Perhaps you sense there is more to life, but are not sure how to access your potential.

I also work with couples, drawing on the Gottman method, as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy and mindfulness strategies. I see each person individually before we set out on our couples therapy journey together. I believe in the power of therapy to return couples to a place of love, support, and joy.
