I believe therapy should be a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, disordered eating, relationship challenges, chronic illness, and life transitions, with a special focus on type 1 diabetes.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we'll explore challenges, build self-awareness, develop coping skills, and work toward meaningful change with greater confidence and self-compassion.

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.
- Gestalt Therapy Encourages awareness of thoughts, feelings, and actions in the present moment. It helps people integrate different parts of themselves for wholeness.
