Nice to meet you
I have over 15 years of experience providing therapy to adults from a rich diversity of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in a deep respect for who you are as an individual - flaws and all. I hope to create a space where you can feel seen, heard and safe enough to share your struggles with me. Then we can work to help you chart a course that will hopefully help you feel better. My style is calm, curious and nonjudgmental. I like to use psychoeducation, skills training, and homework (if you’re up for it) to help you learn new ways of thinking and being.
