I seek to help all clients get to know themselves better. My style of therapy is friendly, non-judgemental and sprinkled with humor. I aim to create a space where clients feel comfortable to show up as themselves and explore deeper parts of who they are.

My practice is comprised of individuals and couples. I see adults, adolescents, and children who are managing a range of issues from anxiety and depression, to relationship issues, to trauma. The couples I work with are often struggling with feeling disconnected and unheard by their partner and are seeking help to regain connection in their relationship that has been compromised or lost over time.

In my therapeutic practice I seek to motivate clients to build the brain they want rather than feeling stuck with the one they have. By harnessing the power of cognitive restructuring, we can excel at tackling complex issues like dealing with stress, managing emotions, changing habits, controlling impulses and navigating complicated relationships in the same way that we would get better at any other skill; through dedication and practice! I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques and skills to help clients set and achieve their own therapeutic goals and try to instil a sense of hopefulness and resolve in every session.

Even the most talkative child may not have the words to accurately and effectively communicate his/her/their emotions, experiences and needs. This can make a child feel frustrated, sad and misunderstood. As a result, some children may express themselves through aggressive behavior, impulsivity and defiance. Other children might direct their feelings inward and withdraw from social activities, become fearful or experience hopelessness and loneliness. Both externalizing and internalizing behaviors may lead to trouble concentrating, academic difficulties, somatic concerns (stomach aches and headaches) or changes in sleeping or eating.

My personal journey into the world of therapy began as a child of a parent who struggled with mental illness. This experience opened my eyes to the power of support, and by middle school, I knew I wanted to become a therapist to help others in the same way I had been helped.

Most clients arrive for therapy struggling with adjustment issues, mood regulation, substance use, or family dynamics issues. The goal is always to effect change that is permanent. When change is not possible, the focus shifts to better managing or coping with the struggles. This is accomplished by working collaboratively helping the clients move from where they are to where they need to be.
