About Me

Personal Style

Therapy is more than just strategies and techniques—it’s a collaborative process rooted in the unique relationship between client and therapist..

My approach balances evidence-based solutions with patience and encouragement. I strive to create an environment where you feel supported, understood, and empowered. I’ll take the time to get to know what truly matters to you, and help you recognize and draw on your own strengths.

Although therapy tackles serious and challenging matters, the process can also be lighthearted. When it feels right, I bring humor into our work—because therapy can be both meaningful and enjoyable.

Ultimately, my goal is to help you move toward the life you envision, equipped with tools and insights to navigate challenges and embrace opportunities.
