I am a sliding scale therapist. My approach is rooted in authenticity, compassion, and collaboration. I create a safe, supportive space where you feel seen and heard. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or life transitions, I’m here to walk alongside you. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, set meaningful goals, and build tools to help you move forward with confidence, clarity, and resilience.
You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for something to shift, I’m here to support you. If you're curious about taking the next step, I welcome you to reach out to me at The Women's Center.
