High satisfaction rate with clients
Nice to meet you
With over 12 years of experience providing therapy, I take a client-centered approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe that each person is the expert in their own life, and my role is to support and guide rather than direct. I strive to create an open, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences, and to build on their own strengths to foster growth and meaningful change.
