I lead my practice with the core values of empowerment, self compassion, and personal growth. I help adults and young adults navigate experiences related to trauma, mood disorders, and anxiety by providing a space that is non judgmental and safe, and - when appropriate - light hearted. I believe everyone has an inner knowing; my role is to support you as you process your emotions and thoughts and find the answers you already have within yourself. Having been a therapy client for years myself, I can say that healing can be a journey that has its challenges, and is also rewarding and a huge relief.
Over the last 5 years as a social worker and therapist, many of my clients have told me that after sessions, they feel more seen, understood, and have gained more clarity. I’m a believer that pain has to be witnessed to be healed, and we are not meant to carry the burdens of life alone.
At your first session with me, I will center the conversation around building a connection with you through learning your history, holding space for your current emotions, and establishing your goals for the future. Most importantly, you will be able to get a sense for if I'm a good fit for you.

I often use DBT therapy for managing difficult emotions in healthy ways, improving communication skills, and learning to ground yourself into the present moment. I am informed by IFS therapy to help you identify the various parts of yourself, allowing them to work in harmony with one another. Our goal is to decrease your distress and increase your sense of clarity, calm, and self compassion.
