I typically work with adults and parents who are navigating complex challenges related to family dynamics, parenting, and personal well-being. Many of my clients face issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD, and I have a specialty in supporting parents dealing with their children's challenging behaviors.

My journey to becoming a therapist started with a deep fascination with human behavior and an early desire to help others find clarity and resilience in the face of life’s challenges. With a background in sociology and a personal interest in family dynamics, I saw how impactful the right support could be for people struggling with difficult circumstances.
