About

Life can feel chaotic and uncertain, and finding the right support can make all the difference. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families, guiding them through anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and identity development. With training in trauma-focused care, collaborative problem-solving, and narrative therapy, I create personalized, effective treatment plans tailored to your unique needs.
​
My approach is a balance of compassion and honesty, providing a safe space to explore emotions while gently encouraging growth. I believe therapy is about discovering your strengths, healing from past experiences, and building confidence to navigate life’s complexities. Whether we’re strengthening relationships or working through personal struggles, I’m here to support your journey.
​
I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves and build meaningful, lasting change. Seeing clients grow, develop resilience, and move toward fulfilling lives is what drives my work. If you're ready to take that first step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your path to healing and self-discovery.
