Hello! I believe healing comes through relationships, and I describe my relationship with my clients as a “professional friendship.” You have to feel comfortable and familiar with me as a human before you can feel safe with me as your therapist. I help my clients navigate personal trauma, enhance emotional well-being, and build connection with themselves and others. I am my authentic self – sarcasm, swearing, laughing, crying – so you can feel safe as your authentic self too. Through compassion, I empower my clients to embrace their thoughts and feelings without judgment, while fostering emotional resilience and deeper connections.
I’m real, I’m honest, and I genuinely care about you – and I have the tattoos to prove it (yes, you can ask)! I’ll connect with you first, person to person, guide you through your heartbreak and love, personal challenges and growth, pain and healing, and step out with you on the other side of it all, into a life you’re proud to live.
If you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, burnt out, burdened, anxious, fearful, or full of self-doubt, I’m here to help you change that. You deserve to live a life with purpose, direction, confidence, balance, love, joy, and full of continuous growth. I'll help you put down the weight you’ve been carrying for so long, and allow yourself to feel safe and seen.

These are the struggles I help most: untangling anxiety, healing the invisible weight of trauma, and repairing the cracks in relationships. Our work may blend ACT, EFIT, and practical tools, but it always starts with your story. The benefit? Relief that feels real - less second-guessing, more self-trust, and deeper, steadier connections.

The anchors to my therapy are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). ACT allows us to accept difficult emotions and commit to present actions that align with our values, while EFIT focuses on understanding and transforming our past and present emotional experiences. Together, these approaches foster deep emotional healing and personal growth.
