My ideal client is someone facing challenges in their everyday life. They may be dealing with overwhelming debt, struggling to make sound financial decisions, or experiencing anxiety and conflict around money. Alternatively, they might be navigating the difficult journey of grief after losing a loved one, or they may be dealing with the long-lasting impacts of some other challenge. These clients need a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their feelings and experiences. They require practical tools and strategies to manage their emotions and make positive changes in their lives.
With my specialized training and compassionate approach, I am dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges and achieve your goals. Whatever you're dealing with, I am here to support you every step of the way. Together, we can work towards a healthier, more fulfilling future.
I believe in the power of therapy to foster personal growth, cultivate resilience, and enhance overall well-being. By providing a warm and empathetic therapeutic environment, I aim to help individuals tap into their inner strengths and resources to overcome challenges, build healthier relationships, and live more authentically.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide on the most appropriate methods to help you make progress. It may be one specifically that works best for you, but it may be a combination of them.
