Nice to meet you

I am so glad you’re investing in your mental health, and I’d be honored to support you on that journey. My approach is warm, collaborative, and solution-focused, grounded in evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. I work with clients experiencing PTSD, anxiety, OCD, mood disorders, and more, including LGBTQIA+ individuals and trauma survivors. I encourage learning between sessions to help you grow with confidence. I look forward to working together!
