“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”– C.S. Lewis. You deserve to feel seen, accepted, and supported. I provide a safe space for exploring challenges, building resilience, and creating meaningful change. My approach combines compassion with evidence-based methods, including EMDR for trauma. With backgrounds in both Clinical Social Work (MSW) and Psychology (PhD), I help individuals and couples navigate anxiety, depression, relationships, and life transitions—so you can move toward clarity, healing, and a more fulfilling life.
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Michigan and a PhD in Organizational Psychology. My doctoral work focused on workplace culture and career counselling, giving me a unique perspective on both personal and professional growth.
Everyone longs to feel seen, accepted, and supported in becoming their most authentic self. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion and encouragement as you navigate life’s challenges, discover your strengths, and move toward greater confidence and fulfilment.

I work primarily with adults and couples facing everyday challenges. These may involve issues such as substance abuse, eating disorders, depression, and anxiety. I use psychotherapy (talk therapy) and EMDR techniques. My aim is to provide a safe, confidential space where you can freely express yourself without fear of judgment.
