My Approach

A comforting hand on a woman's shoulder, showcasing empathy and support.

As a therapist, I bring empathy, warmth, and genuine compassion into every session. I know how vulnerable it can be to reach out for help, and I aim to create a space where you feel truly heard, respected, and supported.

I work from a pluralistic perspective, which means I believe that different people need different things at different times. There’s no single approach that works for everyone. Therapy with me is collaborative, we’ll work together to find the methods, pace, and tools that feel right for you.

Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, emotional regulation, OCD, life transitions, or simply want to understand yourself more deeply, I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches to meet your individual needs
