My Approach to Helping

Hi, thank you for reading a little bit about my work. After completing undergraduate studies in psychology, I detoured into the corporate arena. Those years of experience, and my own therapy kept me close to my interest in mental health and creative endeavors, leading to my decision to earn an MA in psychology and become a therapist. Throughout this work, it is important for me that you feel seen, heard, and your voice upheld as a guidepost. Coming from a diverse background both personally and professionally, I appreciate the complexity of exploring and building your own unique self identity and a grounding sense of self.

I often work with clients who are experiencing couples and family relationship issues as well as trauma, anxiety, depression, infertility and individuals working in mental healthmedical, media-entertainment, and high performance fields.

It is a privilege to support and co-create with clients a space to help deepen their connections with themselves and others, move with more ease, choose the lives they want to live and both navigate and transform challenges into growth and development opportunities. I am happy to connect and see if if we would be a good fit for great work together.
