Navigating mental health can be intimidating, confusing, and exhausting. I commend you for taking the first steps and am here to support you along the way!

Welcome! Meaningful change and lasting healing happen through the co-creation of safe therapeutic spaces. Together, we can develop your capacity not only to feel better, but to be healthier. Understanding yourself is a powerful source of transformation and development. However, insight alone is not always enough to create psychological healing. I work with people to generate deep insight but also to create a new way of being and feeling in the world. For these purposes, I often incorporate both experiential and mind/brain/body therapies.

The most gratifying part of my professional life is connecting with people seeking change in their lives. Positive, meaningful change can and does happen with a solid therapeutic alliance. I offer a safe and non-judgmental environment to focus on your needs. My approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and trauma-informed, rooted in evidence-based therapies and techniques (including mindfulness and Cognitive Therapy).
