I work alongside clients on their journey towards healing by offering an environment of compassion, empowerment, and nonjudgment.

I work with individuals who are seeking support through life transitions, grief and loss, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship conflicts, and those who generally need someone to offer an objective perspective. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, focusing on identifying strengths, aligning with values, cultivating resilience, establishing new patterns, and enhancing self-worth. I believe a supportive, nonjudgmental space is key to unlocking potential. I use evidence-based interventions including strengths-based perspective, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing, and mindfulness approaches. Finding your way to therapy is a big step and recognize the importance of finding the right therapist. Feel free to reach out, and let's schedule a complimentary consultation. I am looking forward to meeting you.
