I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder. I believe therapy offers a valuable space to feel heard, supported, and empowered while building healthy coping strategies. My approach is grounded in empathy and understanding, and I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore challenges and work toward meaningful healing and personal growth.
