You don’t have to navigate this alone.
As a therapist, I deeply value creating an authentic and trusting relationship with every client I work with. I believe that healing happens within the safety of a genuine human connection—one where you feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment. My goal is to meet you where you are, while also gently challenging you toward growth, healing, and self-discovery. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or working through the impact of trauma, I’m here to walk alongside you.
I take an integrative therapeutic approach, pulling from evidence-based modalities like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Somatic Processing. I’m also trained in Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), which can be especially powerful for regulating emotions and processing trauma in a body-centered way.
You don’t have to have it all figured out—and you don’t have to move quickly—but having the courage to stay committed to your healing is what makes the process transformative. I’m here to help you make sense of your story, break free from patterns that no longer serve you, and equip you with practical tools to build a life that feels more grounded and worthy
