My focus
As a parent of two young adults, I bring a unique perspective to understanding the challenges faced by parents, children, and young adults in today’s world. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating disorders, body and gender dysphoria, and personality disorders, offering insight and support tailored to these complex issues.

I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space grounded in active listening, respect, and compassion. In our work together, you will be fully validated and understood as the expert of your own life.
My journey to mental healthcare
I began therapy during a challenging life transition and experienced profound personal growth and benefits. This transformative experience inspired me to use my insights to support others on their own journeys. It has since become my life’s purpose to help others find the same healing and growth through therapy.
My goals for you
Together, we will set goals to address your concerns and develop strategies to achieve them, utilizing clinical approaches and practical skills that extend beyond our sessions.
My first session with you
Our initial session will be a chance for us to get acquainted, explore the reasons you have sought therapy, and gather relevant information. This is also a time for you to ask any questions you may have.
