Life is full of twists—some that inspire us, and others that test us in deep and unexpected ways. While joyful moments fuel our resilience, challenges like anxiety, depression, life transitions, and chronic health issues can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not enough. If you're here, you've already taken a brave first step—and I commend you for that.
At the core of my practice is the belief that a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is essential for meaningful change. I strive to build that trust by showing up with warmth, respect, and authenticity. You don’t have to have all the answers or the perfect words—just a willingness to begin.
Together, we’ll explore the patterns, experiences, and beliefs that have shaped your journey—and begin the work of healing, growing, and moving forward with intention. If you're ready to take that next step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
