I specialize in helping clients navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, low self-esteem, substance abuse and addiction, trauma, inner child healing, work-related stress, life transitions, and anger management. My goal is to create a safe and nonjudgmental space that supports your journey toward healing and personal growth. While taking the first step can feel daunting, remember that you don't have to navigate this path alone. I employ a variety of therapeutic interventions that are both person-centered and solution-focused, tailoring my approach to meet your needs.
Healing begins with understanding. I firmly believe in the potential for change and growth at any stage of life. There is no limit to what we can achieve, and many mental health challenges arise from unhelpful learned behaviors picked up over time. Together, we can work to unlearn these patterns and foster healthier responses.
If you’re curious about how I can assist you in this process, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to connecting with you.
