I specialize in helping individuals navigate relational trauma, anxiety, depression, and the challenges and changes in life. If you often question your feelings, feel unseen in relationships, or struggle with self-doubt, you’re not alone. I can provide a safe, supportive space to help clients process pain, rebuild confidence, and find clarity. With a warm, nonjudgmental approach, I enjoy helping clients break free from patterns of distress, build resilience, and move toward a more fulfilling life.
