I have been in the therapy sector for the last three and have training in CBT and DBT.
You may be carrying more than anyone knows. You might feel like you're functioning well on the outside while inside, you're exhausted, stuck, or overwhelmed. You may long for space to rest, feel, and reconnect with yourself—without having to explain or defend your experience. In therapy, I offer you that space. With warmth, curiosity, and non-judgment, we explore what’s heavy, what’s hidden, and what’s possible. My goal is not to fix you—but to walk with you as you deepen into your own healing, wisdom, and aliveness.
