Great to meet you!

I support individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship issues, and life management. I believe every emotion carries a message, and through exploration, we uncover deeper meaning. My mission is to guide and empower you to restore your sense of self, align with your values, and find emotional freedom. Life’s pressures often lead to masking our true selves, causing unfulfilling choices. I aim to help you overcome these challenges and reconnect with your authentic self.

My approach to therapy

I am dedicated to helping you discover the core of your discomfort and guide you towards not only finding relief but also fostering self-growth. By utilizing a trauma-informed and strength-based approach, I strive to create a therapeutic environment where each person feels understood, empowered, and supported.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to collaborate with you to navigate challenges and develop tools for a more fulfilling, balanced, and values-aligned life. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to explore the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to foster acceptance, mindfulness, and psychological flexibility. I also integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support the processing of distressing or traumatic experiences in a safe, structured, and paced manner. With a trauma-informed approach, including a focus on women’s experiences, I offer a compassionate understanding of how trauma impacts the mind and body, promoting effective, attuned, and meaningful healing.
