High satisfaction rate with clients
Nice to meet you
My therapeutic style is open, curious, and non-judgmental to foster safety and a strong working alliance. In individual therapy, we build trust and explore problem areas—whether anxiety, depression, or life stressors—to process emotions and work toward relief. In couples therapy, we address relational distress with empathy and balance. I help partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and better meet each other’s needs. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on meaningful progress.
