Hello, and thank you for your interest in working with me. I might be the right therapist for you if you are looking for structure and challenge in a warm, supportive context. I can help you to better understand your symptoms so that you feel more empowered to address these challenges day-to-day. I work with specific concerns, such as panic attacks or insomnia, or broader goals, such as building self-esteem. I can give you concrete tools to practice in-between sessions, as well as support you in building confidence and self-compassion while this growth is taking place. You will likely find me using humor along the way.

I work from a trauma-informed lens with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, loneliness and disconnection, and couples facing breakdowns in communication and conflict. In individual therapy, we explore the deep and often painful emotions that get in the way of feeling accepted, understood and truly engaged in one’s life and relationships, including exploring low self-esteem, self-criticism, and perfectionism, and the impact of lived experiences of trauma on their well-being. In couples therapy we uncover the negative cycle disrupting the relationship, helping to improve the connection and communication between partners.

Welcome to my profile! In my sessions, you can look forward to feeling safe, calm, and deeply understood. This is because I always step into therapy as a human first and therapist second. My goal is for you to leave each session with feelings of hope, lightness, and clarity - as if a weight has lifted off your shoulders or you just had an “aha!” moment. By asking insightful questions and listening deeply, my hope is that you’ll feel safe and comfortable enough to slowly peel back the layers of whatever struggles you might be facing right now.
