People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons.

My first priority in working with clients is to provide a unique space where they can feel safe to share all parts of themselves openly and honestly.

Additionally, I frequently check-in and process clients’ feelings towards our working relationship to get a better sense of who they are, what works for them, and what is best suited to help them with the issues that brought them in therapy.

I am a clinical psychologist with experience in providing short to medium-term treatment that is specific and goal oriented. Early in our work together we will strive to identify specific things you want to change in your life, so we can evaluate along the way whether our strategies are working or need to be tweaked. I also believe it is important to remain flexible and allow space in therapy for exploration, as we might not be fully aware of how certain things affect our lives at the beginning of therapy.
