Great to meet you!

I am passionate about helping you navigate life’s challenges. I bring a deep sense of empathy, understanding, and resilience to my work. I understand the complexities of balancing personal struggles with the demands of daily life, and I am committed to creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore, heal, and grow.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach integrates a variety of modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, all tailored to the unique needs and goals of each client.Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to empower you with the tools and insights to create meaningful change in your life.

What you can expect from our first session

I believe that therapy is not just about addressing the symptoms, but about building resilience, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to yourself and your values.Having walked my own path of healing, I am especially attuned to the courage it takes to begin therapy, and I’m honored to walk alongside you as you embark on your own journey toward growth and well-being. Please feel free to reach out to schedule a consultation or to ask any questions about how I can support you.
