My communication style

I offer direct, mindful, action-oriented therapy with accountability for long-term change. My style draws from: Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Behavioral Activation, Mindfulness-Based Interventions, CBT-informed lifestyle changeIntegrative / holistic therapy models. My approach is evidence-informed, even though it feels warm and human.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I’ve always been deeply moved by the resilience of the human spirit. Throughout my life, I’ve been drawn to understanding how people endure loss, adapt to change, and continue forward—even in moments that feel overwhelming or uncertain.

My goals for you

Therapy is medically necessary to address anxiety, adjustment-related stress, and emotional dysregulation impacting daily functioning. Treatment includes evidence-informed talk therapy with adjunct mindfulness and behavioral interventions to improve coping skills, emotional regulation, and functional stability.

Our first session

It’s completely normal to feel nervous—starting therapy is a meaningful step, and we’ll build the process together over time. Your first session is an opportunity to share what’s bringing you to therapy and begin building a collaborative plan. We’ll move at your pace, with support, clarity, and gentle guidance from the start.
