Approach

Many people come to therapy feeling frustrated by patterns they’ve tried to change again and again—patterns that affect their well‑being, their relationships, and their sense of stability. My work focuses on helping clients understand these cycles, gently interrupt them, and move toward change that feels empowering rather than overwhelming.

Together, we create space for growth that feels steady, supportive and freeing. My therapeutic style is warm, humanistic, and person‑centered. I take time to understand the whole person and the experiences that shaped them, with a strong emphasis on trauma‑informed care.

I have extensive experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, relationship stress, social anxiety, life transitions, gender identity exploration, and negative self‑image.

I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable and able to make meaningful progress. Some sessions may be more structured and intervention‑focused, while others may be calming and restorative with the help of Kevin, the office therapy dog. I look forward to the opportunity to support you as you move towards clarity and lasting change.
