You may have spent years trying to make sense of who you are, yet still feel like something is missing. Maybe you've wondered where you fit, why it can feel difficult to connect with others, or whether there's room to fully be yourself.
Many of the clients I work with are reexamining long-held assumptions about themselves, exploring their relationship patterns, or navigating their evolving sense of their own identity, including culture, sexuality, or neurodivergence. Some have spent so long adapting to expectations that they find it difficult to recognize what feels most authentic to them. If any of this feels familiar, you don't have to keep searching for answers on your own.
Whether you're starting therapy for the first time or looking for something different, my goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are — without feeling like you need to over-explain or defend your experiences. Together, we'll better understand what has shaped you and find practical, sustainable ways to move forward with the life you want.
If this sounds like what you're looking for, I offer a Free 15-minute Video Consultation so we can talk about what's bringing you to therapy and see if working together feels like a good fit.

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.
- 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.
