In our sessions, you'll find a safe haven to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment.

My approach is rooted in empathy, offering tailored strategies and practical tools to empower you in managing anxiety, overcoming obstacles, and unlocking your true purpose.

In our sessions together, you can expect my therapeutic style to be warm, empathetic and person-centered. Therapy should not be one-size-fits-all and I recognize that every client brings a different story to session. You are the expert of your own experience and I will take the time to understand how we can collaborate together to work on your own personal therapeutic goals. We will work to help you develop new tools, process your experiences, emphasize your strengths and celebrate the little victories along the way.

I understand that each individual comes from a complex and unique background. Due to this, I thoroughly believe that therapy can not be effective under a “one-size-fits-all” perspective. I strive to make my sessions a fully collaborative experience so that your voice is being heard and our sessions are tailored to what is important to you. Through this approach our sessions will be a gratifying experience in which we identify the root of your concerns and make positive change.
