Welcome- I'm glad you're here. I'm a mental health therapist with over 12 years experience in private practice, and my focus is on creating a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard. Using a client-centered approach, I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, family dynamics including couples therapy, coping with life's challenges, and women's issues. Together, we'll work toward clarity, balance, and healthier relationships.
My approach is warm and collaborative. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral and Emotionally Focused Therapy, as well as other modalities, tailoring sessions to your needs. Together, we'll explore patterns, address emotions, gain coping skills, and create practical solutions to support growth, healing, and healthier relationships.
I am here to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood and empowered. My goal is for you to leave sessions with practical tools, insight, and feel more grounded with a sense of direction and hope. Contact me for a free consultation. I'm here to answer any of your questions and help determine if I'm the right fit for your needs.
