Nice to meet you

I strive to foster a safe and empathetic space for people to explore their thoughts and emotions during virtual sessions. Using a person-centered approach, I collaborate with clients to cultivate insight, resilience, and growth. Through evidence-based interventions and a holistic perspective, I aim to facilitate healing, empower clients to overcome challenges, and develop practical coping skills. I specialize in geriatrics, chronic illness, women’s health, single parenthood, and special needs parenting.
