My Therapy Style

Picture a supportive therapy room infused with the excitement of a treasure chest full of self-discovery. My therapy style is all about providing support, and education, and enhancing your understanding of how stressors may impact your life. In our sessions, we'll embark on a journey together, armed with curiosity and compassion. With my background in health psychology and biology, I bring a unique perspective to our care. Depending on your needs, we can process, develop useful coping skills, or do both to help find a balance that nourishes your mind and body. Together, we'll unravel the knots, celebrate the victories, and maybe even share a virtual high-five or two along the way.

Get to Know Me

Why did you become a mental health professional?

Ever since I was a child, I've been captivated by the intricacies of the human mind and the complexities of human behavior. Even at a young age, I found myself drawn to understanding the way people think, feel, and interact with one another. As I grew older, this fascination only deepened, and I became increasingly curious about the underlying reasons behind people's actions and emotions.

I realized that pursuing a career as a mental health professional would allow me to combine my passion for understanding human behavior with my innate desire to make a positive difference in people's lives. Now, as I embark on this journey, that same sense of wonder and excitement I felt as a child remains as strong as ever.

What are your interests outside of work?

Walking and exploring new and old cities, going to a HIIT class followed with brunch, spending time with loved ones, watching cooking shows but not cooking, picnics, hiking, and going to farmers markets.

What is one thing you do daily that supports your well-being?

Drinking a cup of tea and listening to music.

What book have you read more than once?

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

How do you recharge?

The way I recharge is by practicing mindfulness and self-compassion, prioritizing sleep, connecting with nature, engaging in my hobbies, and making sure to reach out to my social support and connect with people I care about. Remember that self-care is a personal journey, so explore different strategies and find what works best for you!

Do you have any pets?

My little dynamo, Axel, is a feisty Pomeranian! At 15 years young, I let people know not to let his fluffy and handsome looks fool anyone. He’s a pint-sized powerhouse with a larger-than-life personality.
