My ideal client is someone who, despite feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, sadness, or uncertainty, finds the courage to reach out for help and seek change. They may feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward, yet they still hold on to a spark of hope that things can get better. Their goal is to find clarity, relief, and renewed purpose—to better understand themselves, improve their relationships, and regain a sense of balance and confidence. I believe it’s not what happens to us that defines us, but how we respond, and my role is to guide and support those who take that brave first step toward healing and growth.
I take a direct, solution-focused approach—offering honest feedback and practical tools to help you create lasting change. Drawing from CBT, family systems, and emotion-focused therapy, I tailor each session to your needs to promote growth, stronger relationships, and effective coping strategies.
Reaching out for help takes courage, and you don’t have to face it alone. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, heal, and grow. Together, we’ll build new coping skills and stronger connections to help you move forward with confidence and clarity.
