As a psychotherapist, I bring a collaborative, thoughtful, and human-centered approach to my work with clients. I specialize in helping youth, adults and couples navigate challenges related to anxiety, trauma, life transitions, grief, relationships, and self-worth. My style is relational and grounded in trust, empathy, and mutual respect—believing that a strong therapeutic connection is the foundation for meaningful change.
My clinical approach draws from a range of evidence-based practices, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative therapy, and motivational interviewing. I tailor my work to each individual, knowing that no two people—or paths—are alike. Together, we will identify the goals that matter most to you, and gain the clarity to achieve them.
Therapy can feel like a big step. My role is to meet you where you are, listen deeply, and walk alongside you in a process that feels purposeful and empowering. I’m here to help you better understand yourself, connect with your strengths, and build a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.
