Hi there and congratulations on taking a step toward your wellness goals! I work best with individuals seeking clarity, self-understanding, and support as they navigate life’s challenges. My approach is empathetic, efficient, and personal—I prioritize building strong rapport to foster trust and connection. Using strength-based therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients explore their thoughts and emotions to gain insight and feel more in control. I strive to create a validating space where you feel empowered to grow, heal, and take meaningful steps forward.
