How Can I Help?
Together, we will map out your life and start connecting the dots. I provide a supportive space for you to explore who you are, process your experiences, and embrace every part of yourself. We are complex, and lasting change begins with acceptance of where you are right now.
What is My Approach?
My style is laid back, exploratory, and collaborative. I listen to understand, not to judge, and offer insight, feedback, and direction along the way. As you deepen your self-awareness and gain clarity about your thoughts, emotions, and boundaries, you will build the confidence and trust to create a life that feels more aligned and authentic.
What Is My Background?
I became a therapist because I have been a client myself. At one time, I feared opening “Pandora’s Box,” afraid of what I might find inside. But facing my fears helped me reclaim my power. I learned to work with my struggles instead of against them. I bring that same compassion and understanding to my clients, meeting you where you are and helping you grow from there.
