My approach blends psychodynamic therapy — exploring how our past shapes who we are — with cognitive behavioral techniques that help you shift patterns and take back control of your thoughts and choices. I meet clients where they are, offering a space of respect, understanding, and real conversation.

If you’re ready to start doing the work — to heal, to grow, and to reclaim your power — I’d be honored to walk beside you.

Life transitions can quietly (or not so quietly) stir up anxiety, sadness, or a feeling of being stuck. When those feelings linger, it can feel heavy and isolating. You don't have to carry that on your own.
