Recognizing when life feels overwhelming can be difficult, and seeking support takes courage. My approach to psychotherapy is to provide a warm, nonjudgmental, and safe space for adolescents, families, and adults to navigate life’s challenges. For over six years, I have worked in private practice, helping clients gain insight, resilience, and personal growth.
With a gentle yet direct approach, I honor each individual’s unique experiences and diversity. I integrate therapeutic modalities that help clients reconnect with their inner strengths, gain new perspectives, and cultivate greater self-love and compassion.
Life’s challenges can be daunting, but you don’t have to face them alone. Together, we can explore what’s holding you back and find paths toward healing and growth. Whether you're seeking clarity or a deeper understanding of yourself, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Reach out today, and let’s begin this journey together.
