Nice to meet you

I help clients make meaningful progress through structured, goal-oriented sessions. I focus on identifying the root of the issue early, using evidence-based methods such as CBT, trauma-informed care, and solution-focused strategies. My sessions are active, collaborative, and personalized—designed to equip you with practical tools and insights you can apply right away. This approach supports those seeking relief, clarity, and forward movement without feeling rushed, allowing healing to begin efficiently while still honoring depth and emotional safety.
