About me

I’m a warm and compassionate therapist dedicated to helping people who feel overwhelmed by emotions, struggle with relationships, or live with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and attachment challenges. With specialized training and years of experience, I understand how isolating and exhausting it can feel to be stuck in painful cycles or to feel misunderstood by others. My approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental—I believe that every person deserves to feel safe, heard, and valued. In our work together, I’ll support you in exploring your feelings, building healthier connections, and developing practical tools to manage life’s challenges. My goal is to help you find relief, build confidence, and create a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

Get to know me

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

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming, judgment-free space where we’ll get to know each other and talk about what’s bringing you to therapy. We’ll explore your goals, discuss any concerns, and begin to build trust so you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace. My focus will be on understanding your unique experiences and making sure you feel heard and supported from the very start.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths are my deep empathy, specialized expertise with BPD and attachment issues, and my ability to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel truly understood. I blend evidence-based therapies with genuine compassion, helping clients develop practical tools, break free from old patterns, and experience real, lasting change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal clients are individuals who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, struggle with unstable relationships, or find themselves repeating patterns of conflict or self-doubt—especially those living with BPD, attachment wounds, or trust issues. I’m best positioned to support people who are ready to explore their feelings, seek real understanding, and are motivated to make meaningful changes in their lives.
