Great to meet you!

My passion lies in creating a safe, inclusive space for healing and personal growth.

I specialize in adressing anxiety, life transitions, and the challenges that come with navigating relationships and identity. I also have extensive experience supporting clients in managing the impact of social media and behavioral challenges, helping them build healthy boundaries and resillience.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client's individual journey. I beleive in meeting you where you are and creating a non judgemental space where you feel seen, heard, and understood.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to leave sessions with me feeling supported, empowered, and equipped with practical tools to navigate life's challenges. My goal is to help you gain clarity about your emotions, build self-awareness, and develop healthier coping strategies.
