My approach is thoughtful, introspective, and down-to-earth, combining warmth, humor, and practical tools to help you feel more confident and in control of your life. Whether you're feeling stuck, confused, or overwhelmed with your emotions, therapy can help you gain clarity, confidence, and relief. This is your space to be heard, to explore, and to tell your story. My commitment to each of my clients is to meet you where you are and help you get where you want to be. My goal is for every client to feel more empowered, grounded, and in control as they move through their healing journey.
