About My Clients

I have experience helping individuals with emotional distress, loneliness, relationship concerns, eating and body image concerns. I have experience working with couples on issues of intimacy, infidelity, parenting, communication strategies and maintaining their emotional connection.

My Background and Approach

A part of life is struggle and challenge and therapy can bring meaningful movement and self-discovery. I offer non-judgmental support, empathy and humor helping to foster self-acceptance, increase understanding and make important changes. Together, we'll explore your thoughts and feelings, help you gain insight and self-awareness, shift unhelpful perceptions and gain coping skills that work for you. I respect and value the diversity of each client, focus on their unique social and cultural context, and believe that each therapeutic relationship takes a different path depending on these factors. Currently offering video-counseling.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

At some point in all our lives we are confronted with challenges that may seem bigger than we can handle. We can work together to make some sense of these challenges and find a way to foster self compassion, understanding and growth.
