I work with clients navigating a variety of challenges, including mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional difficulties, as well as stress, grief and loss, relationship issues, career challenges, and major life transitions or hardships. Clients come seeking a supportive, nonjudgmental space where they can process emotions, gain clarity, and develop coping strategies. Their needs often focus on building resilience, improving emotional well-being, and creating more fulfilling and meaningful lives. Many seek therapy to feel empowered, reconnect with their personal values, and make lasting change.
I use various approaches to help you navigate life’s stressors and gain a better understanding of yourself. We’ll reflect on how past experiences shape your emotions, decisions, and thought processes. I focus on how your relationships and environment impact you, while helping you develop strategies to manage life and all the lemons it has to offer.
I understand that life can feel difficult and overwhelming. Reaching out for support takes great strength and courage. You don't have to face it alone. I'm here to offer a safe, understanding space where you can explore your raw emotions, find clarity and find ways to move forward. If you are ready, I invite you to reach out to start the healing journey.
