New Client Bookings: Inquire for new client waitlist. I am a passionate therapist dedicated to guiding individuals through life's transitions with compassion and understanding. My practice centers on women's mental health issues, empowering you to embrace your inherent strengths as we navigate challenges together. In my work, I draw from a holistic approach that recognizes the unique experiences and perspectives of each client. I believe that everyone has the potential to thrive. Utilizing an integrated approach, I help clients build resilience, manage stressors, address lifestyle choices, and foster a sense of empowerment.
As a certified Menopause-CBT specialist, I am here to educate, guide, and support you through the transformative journey of peri-menopause and menopause. This time can be filled with a range of emotional and physical changes that may feel overwhelming. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where we can explore and improve your mid-life health.
I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic alliance by fostering trust & openness while creating a safe environment for exploration and growth. I draw from evidence-based strategies, including Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness. Together, we can work towards achieving your goals.
