Great to meet you!

I believe therapy means making you feel deeply known and accepted. My approach centers on harnessing your unique strengths in building the bridge between where you are and where you want to be. I appreciate how some old habits you have picked up at an earlier point may no longer serve you now. The process of understanding yourself and learning new ways of being in the world isn't always easy, but I'll be with you every step of the way

A bit about my approach to therapy

I help adults who struggle with their mood and want to create deeper connections with their loved ones. As your therapist, I believe in creating a warm and secure bond to open the space for long-lasting, personal growth. Together we can find and solve the "stuck points" holding you back from living a full and meaningful life.

What you can expect from our first session

I take an integrative approach reflecting my honed expertise with two powerful modalities, Schema and EMDR. And when necessarily, I "add on" the practical skills of CBT & DBT.
