Cultivating hope in times of adversity can be challenging. Whether you’re feeling not good enough, caught in a destructive relationship, or encountering major life transitions, I will provide a safe space to explore challenges & promote transformation that will last. My approach to counseling is client-centered, aiming to create a compassionate space for self-exploration. Drawing on psychodynamic principles, I integrate evidence-based interventions to help clients reduce symptoms & embrace new possibilities. Through a relationship built on trust, I help clients reconnect with their inner compass, guiding them toward healing.
I strive to empower clients to become better equipped to overcome challenges and get reacquainted with their authentic selves. Through a relationship built on trust & compassion, I take a holistic approach for mind, body, and spirit to create an individualized plan to create new patterns of thinking, promote healing, & increase overall well being.
Each individual possesses the ability to take a journey toward healing and positive change through self-discovery. Facing past hurts and unhealthy habits takes courage, but imagine the full life you can establish with purpose and meaning. I will offer you acceptance, empathy, and encouragement to embrace new ways of being and a better way of living.

I provide a safe, compassionate space for self-exploration, drawing on psychodynamic principles to understand how past experiences influence the present. In your first session we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate ways to promote progress. By integrating CBT and ACT I help clients reduce symptoms, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and embrace new possibilities.
