My website
I have three goals as a therapist: to form a helpful therapeutic relationship with you, to alleviate the stressors and challenges in your life, and to be an informed companion as you pursue your journey of self-understanding.
My approach to therapy is deeply influenced by my background in the arts, which has taught me to collaborate, be creative and embrace contradictions. I strive to be a compassionate, informed companion in each client’s pursuit toward self-understanding and growth.
Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I’m here to support you as we navigate it together. If you’re ready to explore your inner world and work toward meaningful change, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can create a space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to pursue the life you envision.

I work with clients who feel overwhelmed by depression or anxiety, often connected to trauma, identity, or life changes. In our early sessions, we focus on what feels most urgent while I get to know you and what you need. Many clients begin feeling more grounded and confident within the first month, with growth continuing over time.

I often use a cognitive behavioral approach that focuses on understanding emotional, behavioral, and thought patterns, and how to shift them in ways that support living in alignment with your values and feelings. I pair this with emotionally focused therapy to help you feel more connected to yourself, so you can live a life that feels fulfilling and authentic.
