Nice to meet you

I approach therapy with a down-to-earth, engaging style, creating a safe, non-judgmental space for exploration. Together, we'll focus on how you relate to your thoughts and learn practical skills to handle life’s challenges. I emphasize learning tools and coping strategies for real progress. I’m collaborative, direct, and compassionate, offering honest insight with kindness. I help clients set clear goals, empowering them to “graduate” from therapy when ready. I support natural practices—like mindfulness meditation, physical activity, and social connections—that can be as effective as medication in reducing anxiety and depression.

Interests

Outside of work, I’m passionate about health, nutrition, fitness, and continually exploring functional medicine and longevity to enhance my well-being. I love to travel and enjoy the credit card points hobby, which allows me to experience new places. I also have a deep appreciation for podcasts and audiobooks, as I’m always eager to learn and expand my knowledge on various topics.
