Struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, or overwhelming thoughts and emotions? You don’t have to face these challenges alone. Reaching out for support can be the first step toward feeling better. I work with individuals, parents, and families to help them better understand their experiences, develop effective coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change using evidence-based therapy.
I am a Registered Social Worker and experienced psychotherapist with over 13 years of clinical experience providing mental health treatment for depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and borderline personality disorder (BPD). My approach focuses on practical, research-supported strategies that help clients manage difficult emotions and build resiliency.
I also support parents who feel overwhelmed while caring for a child or teen struggling with mental health challenges. Together, we work on practical parenting strategies, emotional regulation skills, and ways to strengthen family relationships while supporting your child’s wellbeing. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

In your first session, we'll assess what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you meet these goals. Sometimes this will mean using CBT, and we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions, experiences, and behaviors. Other times a different treatment type, such as DBT, ERP, or PE, might be best. Together we'll determine what treatment works best for you.
