You may feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward. What you need is a safe, supportive space where you can openly explore your thoughts and feelings. You deserve someone who listens without judgment and helps you gain clarity and confidence in navigating life's difficulties. Your goal is to develop healthier coping strategies, enhance your emotional resilience, and build a deeper sense of self-awareness.
I specialize in helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with empathy and effective strategies. My focus is on empowering you to feel more in control, find inner peace, and build meaningful connections with others. Together, we can work toward creating a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.
I know that life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes it’s hard to find your way. If you’re ready to make positive changes or simply need someone to listen and walk with you through this journey, I’m here to help. You deserve to feel heard, supported, and to move forward with hope and clarity.

I often draw from attachment-based and developmental therapies. In our first session, we'll explore your story and what's feeling heavy right now. Together, we'll gently uncover patterns shaped by past experiences and work toward healing and connection. You can expect a warm, grounded space to grow at your own pace.
