I am dedicated and passionate about forming a meaningful bond with each client I work with. Empathic, effective, and client-centered mental health care are foundations of my therapeutic practice, and I aspire to create a space that is both welcoming and safe for all clients.
My areas of expertise includes perinatal mental health care, addiction therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and eating disorders. I am passionate about helping clients break out of unhelpful patterns or behaviors they find themselves stuck in.
A supportive, caring, and listening ear can be helpful at any stage in life. Reaching out is a brave step to changing, and regardless of what the presenting concern is; the most important factor is to find a therapist
