Helping people is at the heart of my work. I’m passionate about supporting clients as they build meaningful, sustainable habits that help them navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence. In our work together, you can expect a safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where your experiences are respected, and your goals guide the process. My focus is on empowering you to create lasting, life-changing growth.
I integrate Family Systems Therapy (FST) with Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to help clients understand their patterns and build practical tools for managing stress. Together, we explore how family dynamics influence current challenges while developing mindfulness skills that support grounding, emotional regulation, and healthier coping.
FST emphasizes the connection between “nature and nurture,” helping uncover how we may repeat familiar, but unhelpful, family patterns. Whether you're working to reduce anxiety or depression, move beyond anger, heal from a relationship loss, or strengthen your relationships, I’m here to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.
