My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based treatments tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and resilience, and I work alongside clients to better understand patterns, process difficult experiences, strengthen relationships, and build practical skills for lasting well-being.
I believe meaningful change happens within a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a space where clients feel genuinely heard, accepted, and empowered to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and self-compassion. I provide psychotherapy exclusively through secure telehealth and offer flexible scheduling and fees.
