I specialize in supporting women navigating unhealthy attachment styles, mother wounds, relationship challenges, stress, and anxiety. I also work with couples facing communication issues and individuals—both adolescents and adults—coping with trauma. Taking a holistic and humanistic approach, I focus on the whole person to help clients build self-awareness, set boundaries, and achieve emotional balance. My goal is to provide a compassionate and empowering space where you can explore your experiences, heal, and grow.
I primarily work with women navigating unhealthy attachment styles, mother wounds, relationship challenges, stress, and anxiety. I also support couples struggling with communication issues and help adolescents and adults process trauma.
I believe in creating a compassionate and empowering space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences, heal, and grow. I draw from humanistic theories such as Gestalt and client-centered therapy, emphasizing self-awareness, personal responsibility, and the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for healing.
