I have a genuine desire to reduce the stigma around mental health and increasing access to compassionate, affirming care. I’ve had experience as a “client”, and had positive outcomes. I have a belief in the power of safe, trusting relationships that support growth and meaningful change.

I am a generalist therapist and work well with those across a broad range of concerns and diagnoses. I tailor therapy to each individual and often work best with clients seeking supportive, collaborative space to build insight, coping skills and positive outcomes.

One thing I wish I had known earlier in my career about therapy and the healing process, is that clients often already hold the answers they are seeking. My role is not to direct or fix, but to be a welcomed guest in their lives - someone who helps create the space, safety and reflection needed for answers to emerge. Healing unfolds through trust, curiosity and collaboration. It is an honor to walk alongside clients as they reconnect with their own wisdom and capacity for growth.

In your first session, you can expect a warm, collaborative space where your story is heard and valued. I listen carefully and ask thoughtful questions. I will work creatively with you to clarify goals and explore strategies that fit your unique needs. Early sessions focus on building trust, understanding your priorities and starting a personalized path toward positive change.

My personal experiences have deeply shaped my work as a therapist. Having been a client myself, I learned firsthand the impact of skilled, compassionate mental health professionals. Those experiences continue to inform how I connect with and support clients. Losing my only sister to breast cancer at a young age and surviving the disease myself twice, were profound life experiences that shaped my perspective on resilience, grief, and the fragility and strength of life. Combining these experiences with clinical training, allows me to offer a practice grounded in both personal insight and evidence-based approaches.

I tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs by taking a flexible creative and collaborative approach. There is no "one-size-fits-all" method when it comes to working with people. I focus on understanding each person’s story, strengths and goals. Together we explore what strategies and interventions feel most helpful and meaningful, often thinking outside the box to find approaches that that truly fit the client. My goal is to create a personalized plan that is practical, engaging and aligned with client’s values, ensuring therapy is relevant and effective for them.
