About me

As a licensed therapist with three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I bring a compassionate and nuanced approach to addressing issues like social anxiety, workplace stress, life transitions, and family dynamics.

My therapeutic style is casual, deeply empathetic, and adaptable, designed to facilitate clients' comfortability and address their unique needs. I work collaboratively with them to achieve their personal goals in therapy. Often that involves self-acceptance, improved communication skills, building resilience, and challenging negative habits of thinking.

Whether struggling with isolation, seeking purpose, or working through significant life changes, I'm committed to providing supportive, personalized guidance.

My approach integrates evidence-based techniques, teaching clients new tools to overcome the obstacles in the way of optimal functioning.

I'm looking forward to working with you and supporting you on your your path towards self-realization! Welcome!
