About My Clients

I have over nine years of experience in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, parenting conflicts, career and life changes, physical and emotional trauma, ADHD and aggression. My approach to therapy combines different treatment modalities; cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, compassion focused therapy and mindfulness- based cognitive therapy. I understand that everyone is unique and I will tailor our time and goals to fit your specific needs.

My Background and Approach

I provide a compassionate, evidence-based approach tailored to your unique needs. I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, sexual concerns, and life transitions. Together, we’ll build practical coping skills and create meaningful, lasting change in a supportive, judgment-free space. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your concerns, goals, and how I can support you. Investing in your mental health is an investment in yourself, and I’d be honored to be part of your journey.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may be struggling with anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, past experiences, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. If you’re feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of where to start, you don’t have to navigate it alone. With over eight years of experience, I provide a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe being your authentic self. My goal is to help you gain insight, develop effective coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. I use evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs.
