I am a warm, supportive, and client‑centered therapist dedicated to creating a compassionate space where you can explore your experiences with comfort and confidence. My style is friendly, natural, and humanistic. I strive to meet each person with genuine care, curiosity, and respect for their unique story. I am attentive to learning about your needs, your history, and what feels most important to you right now. Whether you are facing a difficult life transition or navigating complex emotions, I am here to help you clarify your choices, understand your internal world, and move toward the life you want with greater confidence and ease. • I provide a calm, accepting environment where you can process openly and without judgment. • I approach therapy with positivity and authenticity, allowing sessions to feel grounded, human, and collaborative. • I focus on developing a meaningful therapeutic relationship, one that honors your individuality and supports your personal goals. • Together, we work at a pace that feels safe, intentional, and empowering for you. My aim is not only to support you through life’s challenges but also to help you grow, heal, and reconnect with your strengths.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Seeking support is a courageous step — and you deserve a therapeutic environment where you feel seen, understood, and truly supported. My practice is dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence‑based mental health therapy for individuals ready to improve their emotional well‑being, process past experiences, and build a healthier relationship with themselves. During our first session we have a great opportunity to get to know each other. I will be exploring your life history, interests, values, relationships, traumas, and current existential crisis or loss of identity. Afterwards I will tailor a specific treatment plan that will assist you in accomplishing your goals. After our first session people have described feeling heard, understood, and prepared to move towards learning more about themselves and digging into patterns, behaviors, history, and goals. My goal is to make you feel safe and comfortable with sharing aspects of yourself and life that you may have never shared. Confidentiality, ethics, and unconditional positive regard is important to me. As the first sessions are geared towards assessing and completing an intake so that I may formally work through diagnosis, assess for safety, and prepare to get to know you on a deeper level. Most of our first session will be based on me asking you questions. However, after the first session we will be exchanging and sharing organically as I support a natural and compassionate environment. If you are looking for a therapist who is kind, attentive, and committed to your well‑being, I would be honored to work with you. You don’t have to navigate this season of your life alone—support is here, and your growth matters
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Therapy should feel like a refuge — a place where you can show up exactly as you are. I am committed to offering a space that is: • Warm, non‑judgmental, and collaborative • Culturally sensitive and inclusive • Grounded in clinically sound, ethical practice • Focused on helping you build resilience and emotional clarity You don’t have to navigate this alone. Your well‑being matters, and support is available. My Therapeutic Approach I take an eclectic and flexible approach to therapy, drawing from a range of evidence‑based practices to meet your unique needs. My work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma‑informed care to ensure that our sessions are grounded in research, safety, and effectiveness. My perspective is also deeply influenced by the humanistic and phenomenological philosophies of Carl Jung. I value intuition, curiosity, and the exploration of the inner world as meaningful pathways to insight and healing. As we begin to understand your personal history and the experiences that have shaped you, we can work together to design the future you want to build. Modalities I Offer To support your growth, processing, and exploration, I incorporate a wide range of therapeutic methods, including: • Existential exploration • Psychodynamic therapy • Shadow work • Cognitive processing • Gestalt therapy • Empty chair techniques • Role play • Inner child work These approaches allow us to connect with different layers of your experience—emotional, cognitive, relational, and subconscious—to help you move through your current challenges with clarity and empowerment.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Your voice and your goals will always guide our work. You set the direction, and I serve as a supportive co‑captain—helping you navigate, deepen your understanding, and move toward the life you envision. Together, we create a therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity, and shared intention. If you’re facing an existential crisis, finding yourself drawn back into familiar patterns or relationships that no longer serve you, or simply need a supportive space to talk things through, I’m here for you. I also support individuals who feel stuck in situations they can’t navigate alone or who are struggling to make an important life decision. Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to manage it by yourself. Together, we’ll explore your experiences with care, clarity, and curiosity so you can move forward with confidence and a renewed sense of direction.
Existential
To explore your identify is to explore your existential crisis and ways in which you are expanding and growing. Logos therapy was coined by Victor Frankyl and a survivor of the Holocaust. We make meaning out of our life and if we focus on what is "Good, True, and Beautiful," we have an opportunity to remove blocks, crisis, and horrible events in our life to make something significant and meaningful. I look forward to doing that with you.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In order to address patterns of behaviors and thought we will take a look at how your thoughts and feelings are affecting your behaviors. You will be psycho-educated on the various defense mechanisms, cognitive distortions, patterns of behaviors, and ways in which your thoughts are affecting your life and relationships. You will be given tools to self-identify and to change for the better.
Mind-body approach
During the beginning of treatment I often include deep breathing and sharing of gratitude statements. I include an emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual check in to the body-mind-spirit to enhance holistic perspective of the self.
Attachment-based
Exploring your relationships and patterns related to how you attach is largely based on earlier root issues and ways in which abandonment has affected you. We would explore insecurities, relationships, anxious attachment, ambivalent attachment, avoidance, and ways in which relationships could be repaired.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
In mindfulness based therapy we connect with our intuitive and holistic self in order to bridge the gap between what we already know and how to deepen our connection to the peace we can cultivate by sitting in breathing. During brief and guided meditation we can reduce stress in our lives and reset the amygdala from years of stress.
