Feeling exhausted, stuck, and misunderstood? I make sure you feel supported, remembered and important. Through an individualized approach, I draw on evidence-based strategies to help you to see yourself as you are and as who you want to be.
I provide teens and adults a safe space and tools to explore their emotions, experiences and identities and improve relationships; I support parents in doing the same with their children.
My approach is warm, practical, and evidence-based, drawing from CBT, DBT, CPT, and mindfulness. Therapy is tailored to your needs, balancing compassion with honest feedback.
I specialize in helping clients manage anxiety and depression, process past traumas, and build confidence in social situations. I also support parents in navigating their children’s behavioral difficulties and recognizing how their own childhood experiences influence their parenting.
I am thoughtful and quiet when necessary, but I am challenging and goal-directed when you are ready. Together, we imagine what your day-to-day might look like without barriers and work towards creating a fulfilled life. If you're wondering whether we'd be a good fit, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.
