Nice to meet you
I provide a collaborative and supportive space for individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, interpersonal difficulties, marriage conflicts, stress, depression, and anxiety. My goal is to ensure that every client feels heard, validated, and—when appropriate—gently challenged in a safe and respectful environment. Together, we’ll explore your strengths and uncover the internal resources that help you find peace amid life’s challenges. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, therapy can be a powerful tool for rediscovering joy and regaining control.
