I take an eclectic approach to patient care, meeting individuals where they are and guiding them toward the best possible outcomes in each therapy session. This means being flexible—whether that involves addressing immediate concerns as they arise or working through deeper, long-term issues.

Together, we will explore a variety of approaches to address the issues at hand. This might include evidence-based therapies or simply having an open conversation. Therapy doesn’t always have to be complicated—sometimes, all you need is someone to listen and talk things through.

I don’t typically discuss with patients how they perceive me, so this question is challenging. However, I know that generally, patients trust me and feel at ease. I prioritize unconditional positive regard and building strong rapport, which are essential for an effective therapeutic relationship.

While I don’t claim a specific specialty, I work effectively with individuals struggling with depression, trauma, stress, abuse, lack of motivation, and anxiety. I also have experience working with bipolar disorder and am comfortable supporting clients with this diagnosis.

I became a therapist because I’ve been where you are and understand the importance of having someone to talk to. I’m deeply committed to supporting others, inspired by the gratitude I feel toward those who were there for me during my own journey.

I run an independent, online-only practice. I offer daytime availability, with limited openings in the evenings and on Saturdays. My goal is to make therapy as convenient and comfortable as possible for you.
