Description
After over a decade supporting MBA students, I completed my MSW to expand my skills in therapy. I draw on Internal Family Systems, Solution-Focused Counselling, DBT, and CBT to help clients find greater connection and joy. I believe that all thoughts, behaviors, and emotions make sense in context. By approaching reactions with compassion, we create space for real change. Therapy doesn’t need to be hard work; it can feel like a weight lifting. Clients say I’m genuine, down-to-earth, and warm, and I use these traits to make exploring your goals feel comfortable and supportive.
