A Little About the Work I Do

My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that while our past can provide insight into our present, it doesn’t have to define our future. Together, we can explore different perspectives, expand your possibilities, and empower you to make choices that align with the life you want to lead. In our sessions, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic environment where we can explore new ways of thinking, transform behavioral patterns, and heal from past traumas. We may focus on improving your relationship with your emotions and finding practical solutions to the challenges you face. The goal is to increase your self- awareness and foster a sense of control over your life’s direction.

I am here to support you through mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Together, we’ll work on issues related to identity, relationships, life transitions, and coping with loss. We’ll discover strategies to manage emotions more effectively, build your confidence, and improve communication with loved ones. Reaching out for support takes courage and intention. It reflects a desire for change and a willingness to invest in your own well-being and growth. I invite you to take that next step and begin this process. Together, we will identify your strengths, make sense of your experiences, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling. You don’t have to do this alone and I am here to support and guide you every step of the way.
