I believe that personal health encompasses not only the state of the body but our minds, emotions, and thoughts as well. My passion for psychotherapy comes from helping others achieve their goals and fulfill a wholistic picture of health by improving and integrating all areas of their lives. Since I began practicing in the field in 2018, I have discovered that one of the greatest rewards for me is supporting clients in learning new skills and gaining a different perspective often while using a sense of humor. While doing this, my goal is to help them utilize their own strengths and abilities to develop a happier and healthier life.

Currently Accepting New Clients for In Person and Virtual Sessions. We all have moments when we feel like we're not good enough. It can happen at work, school, in our relationships, or when we look at ourselves in the mirror. Comparing ourselves to others is natural, but sometimes that feeling becomes overwhelming and stops us from doing what we want. No matter it's origin, feeling less than can make us feel anxious, sad, alone, or disconnected. At EvenMind Psychotherapy I am here to help you navigate feelings of unworthiness and the accompanied difficult emotions from a kind, empathetic and non-judgmental place.

I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing a difficult life transition, a mental health struggle such as anxiety or depression or who want to heal from past trauma. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to develop treatment goals for personal growth, and to help individuals live a more authentic life. Evidence-based individual therapy can increase self-awareness, resiliency and overall happiness. I work with couples experiencing turbulence in their relationship, to recover from infidelity, to recreate that spark or improve communication. I also specialize in family therapy and work with children and youth.

Every story finds its beginning amidst the ongoing narrative of life, where our realities are shaped by our diverse experiences. Our upbringing, relationships, work, and education not only shape who we are but also influence the individuals we evolve into. Central to our understanding are the memories and moments of our childhood, serving as the foundation upon which our realities are built and providing us with the lens through which we perceive the world. Furthermore, our cultural background, early attachments, and environment contribute to refining and fortifying this lens, nurturing resilience, or fostering vulnerability.
