Therapist

I’m a fully licensed CPC clinician who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, and addiction. Growing up in Europe sparked my curiosity about people and my passion for helping others move toward healing and personal growth.

I take a compassionate, collaborative approach and tailor therapy to each person’s unique experiences. Using evidence-based practices like CBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing, I help clients build practical tools to manage emotions, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change.

Therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.
