Professional statement

I'm not just here to listen — I'm here to help you rewrite the story you're telling yourself.

As a licensed psychotherapist with over two decades of experience, I specialize in guiding individuals through life's most challenging chapters — whether that’s navigating anxiety, healing from trauma, building stronger relationships, or simply finding a deeper sense of self.

I believe therapy should feel like a genuine collaboration — not a clinical transaction.

My style is active, compassionate, and refreshingly real. You won't find a passive nodder here; expect meaningful dialogue, tailored strategies, and a safe space where all parts of you are welcome.

With advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Somatic Experiencing, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I customize each journey to fit your needs, goals, and pace. Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is my approach.

I believe that every symptom is a message, not a malfunction. My work is about helping you decode those messages, find your own resilience, and move toward a life that feels more connected, authentic, and free.


Message to clients

Starting therapy is a meaningful step, and I honor the courage it takes to begin. My role as a therapist is to walk alongside you with care, curiosity, and compassion as we explore whatever is asking for your attention — whether it’s anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, or a quiet sense that something’s not quite right.

I offer a calm, steady presence and a space where you can slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we’ll work at your pace, gently uncovering patterns, stories, or wounds that may be getting in the way of the life you want to live.

I draw from trauma-informed, relational, and mindfulness-based approaches, and I tailor each session to support your unique needs and strengths. My goal is not to “fix” you — it’s to help you feel more at home within yourself, with greater clarity, resilience, and self-trust.

I believe healing happens in the context of a safe, attuned relationship. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where all parts of you are welcome — even the ones that feel messy, scared, or uncertain.

If you’re longing for space to breathe, reflect, and heal, I’d be honored to hold that space with you.
