About…

Whether navigating relationship friction, career burnout, or the exhausting weight of anxiety—often ask us to slow down and listen to what our minds and bodies are carrying. As a Registered Psychotherapist, I offer a warm, collaborative, and grounded space where you can explore these experiences, untangle complex emotions, and reconnect with a sense of clarity and agency.

My practice is integrative and tailored to your unique story. Rather than forcing your experience into a rigid framework, I combine evidence-based methodologies with a holistic, person-centered approach:

Relational & Narrative Therapy: To help you understand how your past and present relationships shape your world, examine the stories you carry about yourself, and rewrite narratives that no longer serve you.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and practical behaviors that keep you feeling stuck.

Somatic Approaches & Mindfulness: To address stress, panic, and anxiety where they often live first—in the body—helping you cultivate nervous system regulation, self-compassion, and presence.
Areas of Practice

Relationships & Marital Dynamics: Strengthening communication, navigating conflict, rebuilding intimacy, and establishing healthy boundaries.

Career Stress & Burnout: Managing workplace demands, navigating professional transitions, and restoring work-life balance.

Anxiety, Panic & Chronic Stress: Developing practical tools to soothe panic, calm physical reactivity, and quiet persistent worry.

Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Together, we will build a supportive therapeutic relationship that honors your lived experience, fosters self-awareness, and helps you move toward lasting healing and meaningful growth.
