You may be feeling stuck, lonely, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to turn—feelings that can be hard to put into words, let alone resolve on our own. I offer a calm and compassionate space for you to share these feelings, to make sense of them, and to experience what it's like to be truly seen. My style is warm, conversational, and grounded in authenticity—I bring my true self into sessions, and invite you to do the same. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, shame, trauma, or relationship issues, we will explore what’s beneath the surface and move toward healing and growth.
My approach is humanistic, meaning that I prioritize building a genuine, human connection with you. It is through the comfort and safety of this connection that we will gently untangle the knots you carry inside you, and begin to understand the deeper roots of your pain—not to “fix" you, but to come back to yourself with greater clarity and compassion.
I also offer couples therapy to those seeking to strengthen communication, deepen their emotional bond, and work through conflicts with care and respect. With both individuals and couples, I'm guided by Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), which helps us move through emotional blocks and build richer relationships—with others and with ourselves.
