“I work with adults who feel stuck, empty, or misunderstood. Compassionate and a bit quirky, my therapeutic style balances warmth, acceptance, and accountability. With a trauma-informed approach, I offer a safe and comfortable space where you can show up just as you are. Together, we'll explore what’s working for you and what’s no longer serving you.”

Trauma-informed approach grounded in humanistic orientations, while incorporating aspects of DBT, ACT, and Schema Therapy. I also rely heavily on psychoeducation to help you understand what's happening in your brain and why. From there, we collaborate on practical strategies to manage symptoms. Progress comes from both our problem-solving sessions and the supportive nature of the therapeutic relationship.
