Nice to meet you
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in mutual respect. I create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, life transitions, or patterns that no longer serve you, I help you explore the deeper roots of your experience while supporting meaningful, lasting change. My work blends an insight-oriented lens with practical tools for daily coping. I believe healing happens through authentic connection and meeting you where you are at a pace that feels right.
