Great to meet you!

I am a therapist who believes healing begins in a space where clients feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation challenges, and relationship difficulties, using a personalized approach that draws from cognitive behavioral, trauma-informed, and person-centered therapy. My goal is to help clients gain insight, build healthier coping skills, and create lasting change that supports their overall wellbeing.

My approach to therapy

I work with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation, and relationship challenges, helping them better understand the patterns that impact their daily lives. I specialize in using trauma-informed, cognitive behavioral, and person-centered approaches to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being honest without fear of judgment.
