Life can be challenging, but support is available. I offer therapy for individuals of all ages—children, adolescents, and adults—providing a safe and supportive space to navigate life's difficulties. My approach, rooted in mindfulness and self-compassion, is designed to help manage today's complexities and foster personal growth.
I specialize in addressing a broad spectrum of issues, including trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, emotion dysregulation, grief and loss, self-harm, relationship problems, behavioral concerns, and addictions.
If you’re ready to invest in yourself and discover how therapy can empower you to live your best life, reach out to me for an appointment. Together, we can create positive change and work towards achieving your goals.
