As a Therapist

Finding a therapist that is a good fit, is like searching for that perfect pair of jeans. Each person has unique needs & preferences that must be met. That's why I offer complimentary 15-minute virtual consultations, giving you the chance to meet me, learn about my practice, and see if we click. After all, the key to any therapeutic change is finding the right fit with your therapist. Read more about who I am as a therapist to get some insight before the initial consultation:

​

I've had the privilege to work with a range of people from all walks of life, each with their own unique backgrounds and experiences. From single parents to CEOs, from those navigating arranged marriages to members of the LGBTQIA+ community, Atheism to Christianity to Spirituality, I've experienced a deep understanding of the complexities that shape so many different kinds of people. While this list isn't exhaustive, it gives you an idea of the areas I've worked with & am welcoming of:
