Many people come to therapy carrying the weight of anxiety, past trauma, low self-esteem, or patterns that feel hard to break—even when they want things to change. Whether working with individuals or couples, I offer a supportive, trauma-informed space where you can feel safe, seen, and understood. Together, we explore how past experiences may be shaping current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, using cognitive behavioral tools to help challenge unhelpful patterns and build healthier ones. The goal is to foster resilience, strengthen self-awareness, and create more fulfilling relationships—with yourself and with others.
In addition to strength-based work, I integrate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness, among others. I tailor my approach to suit your individual needs and personal goals.
I understand that taking the first step toward therapy can very difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. My approach is empathetic, non-judgmental and focused on helping you heal. Together, we’ll explore practical strategies for managing your mental health while also fostering a deeper sense of inner peace and emotional well-being.
