Great to meet you!

As a compassionate and dedicated psychotherapist, I am committed to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and discover paths to personal growth. With over 10 years of clinical experience, I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, gender issues, and trauma recovery.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and person-centered therapy. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

What you can expect from me

The first session focuses on building trust and understanding how I can best support you. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and supported as we begin your journey toward healing and personal growth.
