I believe in a collaborative, Strengths-based, Psychodynamic approach that starts with searching for the root of what you're struggling with. Once we understand ourselves and our contexts better, we are more equipped to find resolutions or relief in the here and now. We will work towards your goals in a way that feels productive yet not overwhelming. Throughout our time, I will tailor my approach to best fit you and your goals. I strongly believe that we all have the inner resources it takes to gain control over our thoughts and emotions—we just need to unlock the toolkit and integrate it into our daily lives, and I'm here to help!

My passion for the mental health field stemmed from my love for my younger brother who has Autism. I’ve always wanted to help people who felt like they were silently struggling or didn’t have a voice. The more I learned about therapy and experienced it for myself, the more motivated I became to be better equipped to help others in their greatest times of need.
