Great to meet you!

To be honest, I'm a bit quirky and enjoy being myself, both professionally and personally. I've worked really hard to be the person I am today and staying true to this is the greatest gift I can give myself. I believe life is too short to always be serious. Don't get me wrong, I understand when to be serious, but I also recognize the moments to step back and say, "Hey, you're doing great, even if it feels like you're constantly facing setbacks."

A bit about my approach to therapy

My ideal client is open to feedback and ready to try new approaches. Flexibility is key to real progress! I keep sessions conversational and relaxed, which helps me get to know you better and spot patterns as we go. This style creates a safe, informal space for discussing tough topics. I give honest, straightforward insights, using humor to keep things enjoyable. Together, we'll connect naturally and explore your goals, creating a comfortable space where you can truly be yourself.

What you can expect from our first session

I'll provide constructive feedback and encourage you to try new strategies for your challenges. Together, we'll work towards your goals and explore new perspectives to help you better understand yourself and your experiences.
