Sometimes, even the strongest people need support to work through challenges. My work focuses on providing an empathic space to help clients move through their pain and struggles, so they can live a fulfilling life every day, not just when the sun is shining. Whatever is troubling you, whether it’s anxiety, depression, relationships, school, work, self-confidence, grief, or trauma, I can help. I draw on a range of evidence-based practices and have extensive experience working with, adults, children, adolescents, and families. I care deeply about the people I work with and offer a personable and warm approach to psychotherapy.

Treatment Approach
- Art Therapy Uses creative activities like drawing, painting, or sculpture as a way to express emotions. It is especially helpful when words are hard to find.
- 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.
- 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.
- Play Therapy Uses toys, games, and creative play to help children express emotions. It is especially useful when children can’t fully verbalize their feelings.
- Psychoanalytic Therapy Based on Freud’s theories, it explores unconscious conflicts and past experiences. It seeks to bring hidden issues into awareness.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: I meet my clients through an authentic, direct, and non judgemental lens. I draw on a wide variety of modalities and will work with you to bring a fresh perspective and a renewed sense of hope. My approach is guided by my compassion for people and a belief that we are resilient.
