I am a licensed therapist with a commitment to helping individuals and couples navigate life’s most challenging emotional landscapes. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, grief, and loss, and supporting women through peri menopause and menopause.
I offer a steady, compassionate presence for clients seeking meaningful change. Whether guiding someone through a major life transition or helping a client reconnect with their sense of self, I aim to bring warmth, clarity, and a collaborative spirit to every session.
I work from a humanistic, empowering, and solution‐focused framework that centers each client’s inherent strengths and capacity for growth. My approach is collaborative and respectful of each person’s lived experience, emphasizing emotional safety, self‐understanding, and practical change.
Clients can expect a warm, grounded presence with a focus on what matters most to them. The initial appointment centers on getting to know the client’s story, concerns, and goals. I invite clients to share at a pace that feels comfortable, asking thoughtful questions that help clarify what brings them in and what they hope to change or strengthen.
