I love helping people and truly care about others.  You will feel the warmth and compassion in my approach. In therapy, I will provide you with a safe, unbiased and non-judgemental space to share your thoughts and feelings. I will help you to better understand your emotional concerns, make peace with your feelings and assist you in healing and implementing useful solutions to navigate your struggles most effectively. My goal is to help you build a life that makes you truly happy, while being your authentic self.

My approach is holistic - exploring many areas of your life and personal history. I combine techniques from CBT- cognitive-behavioral therapy (a focus on the connection between thoughts, feelings and behavior) and DBT- dialectical-behavioral therapy (practical techniques for regulating emotions, increasing mindfulness, improving interpersonal relationships and tolerating stress & challenging emotions).

I address the mind body connection by teaching relaxation and breathwork techniques. A major focus of my work also involves helping people to build more positive relationships with themselves and others through discussions of communication techniques, boundary setting and finding a supportive community.

Every person benefits from a slightly different technique. I take the time to get to know people and equip them with the tools which will be most helpful to them. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our conversations, and your treatment, to meet your unique and specific needs. We will focus on what you want to, in order to get you feeling better as quickly and sustainably as possible. We will move at a pace you are comfortable with.

While I'll always be here to support you, and work with many clients for several years, my ultimate goal is not to keep you in therapy as long as possible. Instead, I am to truly help you feel better and resolve your concerns. I care about the people I do therapy with, and don't do this work simply for the paycheck.

Investing in your well-being through therapy can lead to a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life. If you are ready to try therapy, I am here to help you.
