I’m a therapist who believes healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. I offer a calm and nurturing space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without pressure or judgment. I work with adults and couples who are coping with medical conditions, health-related stress, or major changes in their lives. My approach is warm, collaborative, and centered on helping you gain clarity, build confidence, and move through challenges with more ease. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of what they need. Together, we slow things down, explore what’s getting in the way, and create new ways of understanding and caring for yourself. My goal is for you to feel supported and empowered as you build a life that feels more balanced and aligned.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. There’s no expectation to have everything figured out. We’ll talk about what’s been going on for you, what you hope to work toward, and any questions you may have about the therapy process. My intention is to help you feel comfortable, informed, and confident that you’re in a space where your voice truly matters.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I bring a calm, compassionate presence and a deep commitment to creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are. I value collaboration, and together we’ll identify goals and explore practical tools that support meaningful, lasting change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with clients who are ready to explore their inner world with openness and curiosity, even if they’re unsure where to begin. You may be feeling stressed, stuck, or navigating a major transition. My role is to help you gain clarity, reconnect with your strengths, and build emotional balance as you move forward.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, and depression. Over the years, I’ve worked with individuals navigating medical challenges, adjustment difficulties, and relationship stress.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I use mindfulness-based approaches to support clients adjusting to medical diagnoses, or health anxiety. Mindfulness helps reduce stress and physical tension while improving emotional coping.
