In a world filled with uncertainty and constant change, we often struggle to find peace and stability. One way we can feel some sense of relief is by having a safe space to share our overwhelming thoughts. I believe that the process of healing is not always easy and encourage clients to ease out of their comfort zone with the help of a guide.

I am a Health Psychologist who approaches clients with empathy. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with an influence of Adlerian theory, to be goal-oriented and positive-focused in treating depression, anxiety, physical illnesses, sleep problems, weight management, recovery from substance use and other lifestyle conditions. I help people overcome their fears and resistance to change through the use of Motivational Interviewing (MI). This helps remove barriers to achieving goals and achieving them successfully. My purpose in my work is to help each client become the best version of their 'self'.

My ideal client feels stuck—whether in patterns of anxiety, depression, self-doubt, or major life transitions. They may be an emerging adult navigating identity, a young professional battling imposter syndrome, or someone struggling to process difficult emotions. They want relief from overthinking, self-judgment, and feeling lost. Most of all, they seek a space to be heard, understood, and empowered to build clarity, confidence, and balance in their life.

We often define ourselves by our relationships: mother, daughter, brother, father, son and often by the quality of those primary connections. When an important relationship encounters challenges, whether through separation, estrangement, alienation, loss and/or time, we can feel confused and hurt. Let's work together to heal those relationships and repair the connections, to feel complete and whole and develop our own identity with love and understanding.

Are you on the brink of divorce? For many couples, life is turned upside down when one partner says they want/need to end the marriage and the other is hoping to save it. It is a mistake for these couples to either jump into the divorce process OR jump into couples therapy without both partners fully on board. Discernment counseling is a short-term, structured process designed to help couples gain clarity as they make a decision for the future of their marriage. The ultimate goal is for couples to decide between three paths: proceed to separation/divorce, postpone the decision, or commit to all-in couples therapy.
