My Approach to Helping

I am passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate major life transitions, as well as those struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, rumination, addiction, and codependency. These challenges often leave people feeling stuck or overwhelmed, but with the right support, I have seen folks break free from patterns that no longer serve them. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their emotions and gain insight into their behaviors.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a practice manager at an addiction, dependency, and pain management clinic. This work inspired me to support folks from all walks of life in their healing journeys. I was able to witness firsthand the profound impact that therapy could have on recovery and relationship-mending. Whether you're facing a significant life change or working to understand and heal from past trauma, I am dedicated to empowering you to live a more authentic life.

My approach is trauma-informed, client-led, relational, and fluid. I draw from elements of Family Systems Therapy, IFS, Somatic Therapy, Psychodynamics, Gestalt, and lean into whichever modalities are most supportive to each individual client, acknowledging that we all have different preferences and needs.

“The attempt to escape from pain, is what creates more pain.”
― Gabor Maté
