Life can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying pain from the past, managing intense emotions, or struggling to stay connected with loved ones. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, honesty, and respect. I provide a supportive space where you can explore your experiences, understand your emotions, and begin to heal. I specialize in helping individuals work through trauma, mood disorders (including bipolar and schizophrenia), as well as supporting families experiencing conflict, stress, and children’s emotional or behavioral challenges. My work is trauma-informed and collaborative, integrating various approaches.
My expertise extends to areas such as trauma, crisis intervention, relationship issues, life transitions, managing mental health symptoms, and emotional and behavioral challenges in adolescents and young children. I value client-centered and trauma-informed approaches. I use TF-CBT, DBT, IMR, Art therapy, Play therapy and more.
Whether you’re seeking greater stability, healthier relationships, or a deeper understanding of yourself or your child, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. Healing takes courage—but you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s take the first step together.

Using TF-CBT, DBT, attachment-based therapy and play therapy, I tailor my approach to each client's unique needs. With children, I use play and creative expression to help them understand feelings and develop coping skills. With teens and adults, I focus on building emotional awareness, resilience, and practical tools for lasting change.
