I believe that being truly seen, heard, and understood is at the heart of meaningful change. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe being yourself, exploring difficulties emotions and working through life’s challenges at your own pace. I do this while using evidence-based practice. It is my goal to understand you as a whole person—not just the struggles that bring you to therapy. My goal is to help you recognize your strengths, develop greater self-understanding, self-compassion and to build the psychological flexibility to navigate life’s challenges. You deserve a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, authenticity and compassion, and that is what I work to offer every person who enters my practice.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy Based on decades of research, this method gives couples tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen intimacy.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) A short-term approach focused on improving relationships and social support. It is often used for depression and grief.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
Approach Description: I would describe my theoretical orientation relationship-centered, compassionate and integrative combining an understanding of attachment and relational patterns with evidence-based approaches. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens when we feel safe, understood, and connected. I take an attachment-based approach to therapy, recognizing how our early relationships and life experiences shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others, and navigate the world. I integrate principles and skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and healthier ways of responding to life’s challenges.
