Great to meet you!

I strongly believe in the power of therapy to help you build insight, understanding, and self-compassion. Outside of private practice, I have worked with a diverse group of adult clients in a large teaching hospital and have extensive experience addressing coping around chronic illness, substance misuse, and complex trauma. Past clients have appreciated my calm demeanor when discussing challenging topics.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Therapy should be a highly collaborative and supportive process to help reach your goals and build meaning in your life. My therapeutic style incorporates several evidence-based theoretical techniques depending on your individual needs, with an overarching focus on humanistic and existential approaches.

What you can expect from our first session

Most importantly, you can expect to be met with warmth, empathy, and respect. Sessions are generally organic and I try to incorporate humor when appropriate. I strongly value transparency and am always willing to discuss my thought process or why I asked a particular question.
