What should a new client know about working with you?
I’ve been a therapist for over 20 years, and I truly love what I do. I’ve helped people through deep hurt, big trauma, burnout, anxiety, major life changes, legal stress, substance use, and serious mental health struggles. I’ve seen how strong people really are, even when they don’t feel strong. I believe every win matters, even the small ones.
My job is simple:

To help you understand yourself better.

Why you feel what you feel.

Why you react the way you do.

And what you can do when things feel heavy.
Together, we figure out what a good life looks like for you, not what anyone else says it should be. Then we build clear, real-life tools to help you move toward it.
I work a lot with high-achievers, leaders, and people going through big transitions, career burnout, identity shifts, performance pressure, relationship changes, or life stage changes. I help you turn stress into growth and stuck points into strength.
My approach isn’t just about lowering symptoms. It’s about helping you live fully and on purpose. Moving from auto-pilot to choice. From reacting to creating.
I use proven methods like ACT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and more. I blend research-backed tools with mindfulness to help you slow down, think clearly, and feel more in control. Before starting my private practice, I worked as a senior researcher focused on attachment and trauma, so I bring both heart and science into the room.
I create a space that is deeply empathetic and judgment-free. You will be seen and heard here. I bring warmth, honesty, a bit of humor, and sometimes direct, action-focused guidance when it’s helpful.
I believe therapy works best when we work together. You are not a problem to fix. You are a whole person. My goal is to help you move from self-doubt and old patterns into self-trust and growth, at any stage of life, in any circumstance.
You don’t have to do this alone. We’ll take it one step at a time.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
