Great to meet you!

My ideal client is anyone seeking change and a deeper understanding of themselves—whether they’re confronting loneliness, navigating life transitions, or making peace with past trauma. I welcome all individuals striving to create more meaning in their lives.

My approach to therapy

I take a person-centered approach, viewing individuals as people first and the experts of their own lives, as well as their life experience being the primary source of insight. Through collaboration and mutual understanding, we would work together to achieve the goals they set for themselves.

What you can expect from me

If you find yourself questioning the quality of your life—feeling stuck, unexcited, or constantly conflicted—gaining deeper insight might help. If you're ready to confront and challenge old patterns or narratives that no longer serve you, let’s talk.
