Hi there! As a therapist, I strive to create a safe therapeutic space rooted in trust, collaboration, authenticity, and even a bit of fun (yes, therapy can be fun). I work with individuals, couples, and families facing a wide range of challenges. My clinical passion lies in helping individuals navigate relational challenges, life transitions, anxiety, and trauma. I provide clients with education and skills that they can implement into their lives such as conflict resolution, communication, assertiveness, and coping skills.
I have an eclectic therapeutic style and tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client. I want to meet you where you are, allowing you to set the tone, direction, and pace of our sessions. With a professional yoga background, I often bring mindfulness & movement into therapy, as I believe our bodies hold key insights into our emotional landscape
If you believe it's time to work with a new therapist or start therapy for the first time, I invite you to contact me. My commitment to you is to take the time to truly understand who you are, your strengths, and the resources you have to heal. Together, we will explore your goals and develop a plan to help you achieve them.
