Nice to meet you

I work with individuals and couples seeking change, often around depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, shame, self-esteem, trauma, life transitions, and stress. I believe the success of therapy is built on the relationship, so my goal is to create a collaborative and supportive space. Together, we use evidence-based practices to break unhelpful patterns, explore unmet needs, and consider meaningful possibilities in personal, relational, and societal contexts.
