Hi, I am a psychotherapist who works with adult (18+) individuals to address a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. I believe the most effective therapy is a collaborative process, where we work together as a team to identify what’s not working and build practical, meaningful solutions that fit your life. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and actively involved in your own healing. We begin by establishing a strong therapeutic alliance—creating a space that feels safe, nonjudgmental, and grounded in trust.
You deserve to take up space. Your feelings are valid, and your mind is trying to protect you based on your experiences. In therapy, my goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can fully process emotions. As they say, “the only way out is through.” Together, we can work toward healing, growth, and lasting change.
My style is supportive, empowering, person-centered, and collaborative. I use CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, mindfulness, somatic work, and EMDR to help clients build insight, emotional resilience, and confidence. Together, we focus on practical change, healthier coping, and creating a stronger sense of self and direction.
