I believe that everyone deserves to have the space to process their thoughts and emotions with someone they trust. As a therapist, my style is warm, empathic and strengths based. Rather than focusing solely on challenges, I work with my clients to identify and amplify their inherent strengths. My approach is rooted in genuine empathy, with the intention to provide a haven for clients to explore their feelings without judgment. As someone that works with people from all walks of life, I know that everyone’s journey is unique, and I tailor my practice to meet individual needs with the utmost sensitivity.
My areas of clinical interest include helping individuals navigate mood disorders and anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions, which include marriage and divorce, parenthood, career changes, and loss, among others. I also work with couples to support them in strengthening their communication and intimacy during life’s stressors.
Therapy is a shared adventure, and I hope you'll find comfort in the fact that you have a dedicated companion on your journey to a more fulfilling and balanced life. When you are ready, I am here to walk beside you, offering support, understanding, and a genuine belief in your ability to thrive.
