Nice to meet you

My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, empowerment, and unconditional positive regard as the foundation for healing and growth. I work with individuals, couples, Veterans, women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community navigating both visible and invisible challenges. I believe human suffering often stems from disconnection—from ourselves, others, or a sense of purpose. My work focuses on helping clients restore those connections through compassion, communication, and emotional attunement.
