Welcome Message

In many aspects of our lives, we may struggle to be our most authentic selves or even understand who we truly are at our core. In my practice, I am dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment where you can explore and express your true self without fear of judgment. I recognize that therapy can be a vulnerable and daunting experience, and I am committed to demonstrating the highest level of respect as you share your story and let me into your world. Together, we will safely examine your life experiences, their impact on you today, and embark on a healing journey toward the life and person you aspire to be.

About Me

My approach to therapy is relational, drawing from narrative therapy, internal family systems, mindfulness, and attachment theory. I adopt a client-centered and trauma-informed perspective to build a collaborative and meaningful therapeutic relationship that supports your progress. By blending these methods, I strive to meet the unique needs of each client effectively.

I focus on helping individuals identify relational patterns and navigate various emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, caregiving, chronic illness, and women’s concerns.

I welcome you to connect with me so we can discover how I can best support and guide you on your healing journey. I look forward to meeting you!
