My ideal clients are individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, uncertain, or emotionally exhausted as they navigate all life’s challenges. They may be struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, self-esteem, grief, or simply trying to better understand themselves and their experiences. Clients often come to my practice looking for clarity, healing, and a stronger sense of balance in their lives and may want help processing difficult emotions.
I have over 10 years of experience as a therapist and educator working with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, gender-related concerns, pregnancy, postpartum, and life transitions. My approach is grounded in existential therapy while integrating CBT and DBT to support insight, coping skills, and meaningful growth.
I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive space where you can express yourself openly without fear of judgment. My approach is grounded in empathy, honesty, and helping clients reach their full potential. Reaching out can be difficult, but you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone.
