Life's hurdles can really take a toll on your spirit, dimming your self-belief and hope for brighter days. You might find yourself peeking out from behind a facade of "I've got it all together," while inside it feels like a chaotic jumble of emotions and doubts. I understand that feeling of not quite fitting in – whether it's due to battling with your emotions, grappling with your identity, or facing the aftermath of difficult experiences. My office can be a safe space where you're a valued individual deserving of understanding and compassion, because everyone deserves a place where they truly belong.

I believe that therapy is the most successful when there is a trusting relationship between the therapist and the patient. In order to establish a connection, I strive to meet my patients where they are through providing an open and safe space which allows them to freely express themselves without judgment. We all have a story to tell and every story is different. Often times, between the lines of the story lies the clarity that allows for healing and forward movement. My goal is to read between the lines and help patients fill in the blanks.
