I also serve as an educator and clinical mentor, helping nurses and students strengthen their skills, confidence, and clinical judgment.

My approach to therapy

I work with clients by creating a safe, calm, and nonjudgmental space where they feel respected, understood, and empowered to share their experiences at their own pace. My style is warm, patient, and grounded in active listening, allowing clients to feel supported while we explore their concerns, strengths, and goals together.
