My therapeutic style balances working collaboratively with clients while allowing them the space and support to work through whatever they bring to the session. I use an empathetic approach to connect with clients to build a trusting relationship and foster an environment of safety, warmth, and understanding.

  I use an eclectic lens of psychotherapy and draw on techniques from multiple theories including CBT, psychodynamic, person-centered, and positive psychology. I also understand that every individual is unique and therefore I rely on each client’s strengths and attributes to cater to their needs during sessions.   I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in various therapeutic settings. I provide psychotherapy services to clients of all ages and backgrounds and also conduct couples sessions. I work with clients attending therapy for an array of issues including anxiety, depression, personality disorders, relational issues, trauma, and stress. I strongly believe that everyone can benefit from therapy if they give themselves permission to do so. Starting with a new therapist can feel daunting or uncomfortable and in recognizing that, I provide a space that allows the client to have autonomy over their own mental health journey.

My work focuses on helping people understand the patterns that shape how they relate to others and to themselves. I believe the relationship we develop with ourselves is foundational, and that many experiences such as anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm,
and disconnection are rooted in adaptations that once served an important purpose.

trust.
I specialize in couples and family work, supporting clients in strengthening communication, rebuilding trust, and navigating relational challenges with greater understanding. I also work with individuals seeking to address anxiety, perfectionism, identity questions, and life
transitions, or who want to develop a more grounded and supportive relationship with themselves.
