About me
Psychotherapist with experience working with teens and adults with anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma disorders.
I come to this work with a passion for helping people alleviate their suffering and align with what’s important. I aim to create a space where you can feel heard but also challenged. I consider you as a whole person within the world in which you live and how that context affects what you do. My approach respects you as the expert of your own life experiences. I am here to guide the process with curiosity and compassion.
Whether you’re struggling with a long-term problem or adjusting to changes in your life, you may be feeling mixed up and stuck. I am here to help you get unstuck. We will work together to make sense of experiences, find what isn’t working, and move towards what matters to you with tangible change.
