Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by the challenges in your life? If so, you're not alone, and you're in the right place. I work with individuals just like you who are ready to take the first step toward healing, even if it feels a little scary. You might be navigating the effects of past trauma or abuse, struggling with depression or anxiety, or feeling uncertain during a big life transition. Maybe you're carrying self-doubt, feeling disconnected from the people you care about, or unsure how to move forward. Whatever you're going through, you don’t have to face it alone.
My practice integrates a range of therapeutic techniques to include acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT),CBT, psychodynamic exploration, trauma-focused support, and culturally sensitive insights. I aim to empower you to create a life filled with purpose and fulfillment by empowering you to overcome obstacles and build resilience.
I understand that what you need most is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be yourself, where you can share your thoughts and feelings without fear of criticism. You want practical tools to help manage your emotions, someone who truly listens and validates your experiences, and a path forward that feels achievable and aligned with who you are.
