26 years of experience

Hello and thank you for stopping by! I'm happy that you are interested in learning about me. I am a seasoned therapist with a passion for healing and a heart that beats for both humans and animals. With 26 years of experience in the mental health field, I've dedicated my career to creating a safe and nurturing space for individuals and couples seeking positive change and personal growth. As a therapist, I value open communication and approach each session with a friendly and honest attitude. I believe in fostering a connection that encourages trust, allowing us to work together in a collaborative and supportive way.

My practice places emphasis on the values of social justice, inclusivity, and equality. I am an advocate for a world where every individual, regardless of background or identity, can access the support and understanding they deserve. Together, we can explore the intersections of your identity and experiences in a safe, affirming space.

Beyond the therapy room, you'll find that I have a deep passion for travel and exploration. The world is a vast tapestry of cultures and experiences, and I believe in embracing the beauty of diversity and if you're also an animal lover like me, you've found a kindred spirit.

With over two decades of experience, I've had the privilege of working with individuals from all walks of life. My approach is personalized, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based practices. Therapy is a partnership, and my role is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore, reflect, and grow. I honor the uniqueness of each individual, fostering an atmosphere where authenticity is celebrated, and self-discovery is embraced.

Whether you're navigating life transitions, suffering with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or family/relationship issues, I'm here for you.

Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I look forward to the opportunity of supporting you on your path to healing and self-discovery.
