My approach

My approach blends compassion with creativity. I offer more than just talk therapy - I provide practical, actionable strategies you can implement in your daily life. Together, we will: Make sense of your challenges; Break old patterns; and Rediscover calm and strengthen connections My primary emphasis is on the therapeutic relationship and creating a safe place. My approach is tailored to the unique needs of each individual, incorporating evidence-based techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices to help clients achieve their goals and improve their overall well-being.

My focus

I specialize in working with young adults and women who are navigating difficult life transitions, experiencing stress, or struggling with anxiety I am most comfortable treating conditions such as anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders, and stress-related issues that often accompany significant life changes. Other areas I can help with include: ADHD, difficulty with communication, and establishing healthy boundaries.

My communication style

My primary focus is on building a strong therapeutic relationship with you. I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable sharing your needs and concerns. To provide structure and support your progress, I assign practical homework strategies that you can apply in your daily life. During our sessions, I also share educational information to equip you with the tools and knowledge needed for self-sufficiency. Our conversations will be curious and non-judgmental, avoiding assumptions or one-size-fits-all treatments. Many of my clients tell me they look forward to our engaging "talks" and the personalized support they receive.

My journey to mental healthcare

Helping people heal, grow, and thrive is more than just a job to me - it's a calling that brings profound purpose and joy to my life every single day.

My goals for you

When we work together on goal setting, I'll help you identify what's most important to you and what you want to achieve. We'll break down your big goals into smaller, manageable steps that feel realistic and achievable. Throughout the process, I'll be here to support you, celebrate your progress, and help you adjust your goals as needed.

My first session with you

My intake process involves getting to know you well versus just fact-finding. I enjoy taking time to connect and understand, as the safety and honesty in the therapy relationship are keys to real progress. I like working with clients who realize that healing may take time, but that small actions outside of the therapy hour are life-changing. These little changes are what lead to deeper transformation for clients over time
