Great to meet you!

You might be feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life, struggling to manage persistent anxiety, or carrying the weight of past experiences that continue to affect your present. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate this journey by yourself. I will work alongside you to identify goals that lead to "a life worth living."

A bit about my approach to therapy

I’m here to support you in navigating intense emotions, improving relationships, and creating lasting change in your life. In our sessions together, my approach is warm, empathetic, collaborative, and challenging when necessary. I strive to create an environment where you feel safe, understood, and supported.

What you can expect from our first session

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, or just feeling overwhelmed, I’m here to listen and support you in a way that feels comfortable and authentic to you.
