Accepting new clients. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and I commend you for taking this step. I strive to create a supportive, compassionate space where clients feel understood and met where they are. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, life transitions, chronic illness, perinatal mental health concerns, and relationship challenges. Together, we focus on the concerns that feel most important to you while building insight, coping strategies, and meaningful change.

I’m a Registered Social Worker with experience supporting couples navigating communication difficulties, conflict, emotional disconnection, and relationship transitions. My approach integrates attachment-based and relational therapies with training in Gottman Method (Level 1) and Relational Life Therapy via the RLT Cultivating Connection program (Level 1).

I work collaboratively to identify the core patterns that fuel distress—whether it's low motivation, self-criticism, or emotional overwhelm. Together, we build awareness and learn how to respond to difficult emotions in more flexible, empowering ways. My goal is to help you find relief, clarity, and a sense of forward momentum, but always at your own pace.

I understand how isolating anxiety and depression can feel, and I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be honest, feel seen, and take meaningful steps toward change. Whether you're struggling with panic attacks, burnout, low self-worth, or just feeling stuck, therapy can help you feel more grounded, confident, and hopeful.

I believe that therapy is not a one size fits all approach. I often begin with elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, somatic approaches and CBT, but will always adjust the approach based on client feedback. I use elements of many different approaches and ensure that it is a good fit for each client.
