I approach psychotherapy as a creative, collaborative undertaking between therapist and client with the goal of creating a safe, healing relationship through which clients can discover and mobilize their deepest capacities for transformation. I have been in practice for over 25 years, working with clients of all ages, including adults, couples, families, young children & adolescents. Areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, trauma, bereavement, issues surrounding adoption, parenting, and co-parenting after divorce. As a psychotherapist and special educator I have worked extensively with children with learning differences.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment.

My approach is an eclectic one, most heavily drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Therapy with me is engaging, supportive, and outcome-oriented, aiming to assist clients in boosting interpersonal skills, coping mechanisms, and self-worth.

As a therapist, I take a strengths-based approach to my work with clients, recognizing the unique skills and resources that each individual brings to the therapeutic relationship. I believe in creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and validated, and where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences with empathy and compassion. At the same time, I also see my role as a therapist as one of gently challenging my clients' thinking and encouraging them to consider new perspectives.

We live in a complex world, and the journey to finding oneself while experiencing adversity can be very difficult. Many people come to therapy with the hope that they will find a way to learn how to navigate these challenges. As a clinician, I believe that humans all possess an inherent resilience that can guide us through adverse experiences. I specialize in trauma-informed practice, and I utilize an evidence-based, person-centered, and socially conscious approach to psychotherapy that helps my clients learn ways to activate this existing resiliency.

My goal is to support clients on their journey to fulfillment in all areas of their lives. I aim to provide a safe, nurturing environment where clients can gain insight into their emotional lives and behaviors and equip them with tools to form healthy relationships. After a rewarding and diverse career as an economist, I decided to follow my true calling to become a psychotherapist. I now feel great joy in empowering my clients to find inner peace and self-worth.
