Therapy is a journey—one that invites you to explore the unknown parts of yourself with curiosity and courage. As your guide and fellow traveler, I provide a compassionate space where you can uncover the roots of your struggles and move toward lasting change. I believe that the stress and challenges you face today often have deeper origins, and together, we can gently explore those places when you’re ready. Your sense of safety and trust is essential in this process, and we’ll work at a pace that allows you to feel supported and grounded every step of the way. With a strong therapeutic alliance, profound healing becomes possible.

Our work integrates Jungian, IFS, DBT, and Transpersonal Psychotherapy, combining depth with practical tools. Experiential methods like guided meditation, breathwork, Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, guided imagery, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy support deep healing and transformation. Together, we’ll explore your inner world with curiosity and care.

I’d love to connect and explore how we can work together. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your needs and see if we’re a good fit. Self-exploration can be challenging, but it’s worth it—I’m here to support you every step of the way. Book your free consultation on my website today!
