Great to meet you!

I’m passionate about living life fully and cultivating meaningful relationships. My core values—adaptability, open-mindedness, and honesty—guide how I connect with others and respond to challenges. These values fuel my motivation to be resourceful and supportive. I enjoy using my knowledge and tools to assist those who seek help, offering guidance and care in any area where I can make a difference.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gestalt, Adlerian, Solution-Focused Therapy, and other evidence-based modalities. My approach is holistic, emphasizing the integration of your strengths, support systems, and the many interconnected aspects of your identity. My goal is to ensure you receive the support you need while also helping you develop strategies for creating and maintaining the stable, fulfilling lifestyle you envision for yourself.

What you can expect from our first session

I understand that life can be frustrating, frightening, and mysterious—yet also filled with meaningful and positive experiences. Achieving wellness and a strong sense of self should be a top priority and deserves a thoughtful, personal approach. My goal is to provide care that brings real value to your life and supports your journey toward growth and healing.
