Great to meet you!

I genuinely care about the people I work with. I became a therapist later in life to give back after my own healing journey transformed me and my marriage. Clients describe me as compassionate but direct. I will go in the trenches with you, hold your hand, address what’s keeping you stuck, and help you create real, lasting change. My greatest reward is seeing clients step out of survival mode and into self-trust, peace, and connection.

My approach to therapy

Healing, for me, means digging deep; exploring cultural norms, family rules, trauma, and the beliefs that quietly shape our lives. My approach blends CBT, REBT, ACT, mindfulness, attachment, somatic, and inner child work to create both insight and action. I believe therapy should help you understand yourself, change patterns that no longer serve you, and move toward authentic emotional freedom.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a genuine, caring, compassionate space, and enthusiasm to get started on your healing journey. I’ll take time to understand what’s bringing you in, what you’ve already tried, and what you want to change. Together, we’ll reflect briefly on what shaped you, then focus on tools that help you stay grounded in the present, quiet self-criticism, and build confidence from the inside out.
