I believe that meaningful change begins with understanding ourselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in compassion, curiosity, and respect.

I'm here to walk alongside you as you navigate life's challenges and work toward a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.

What Guides My Work

People often come to therapy believing there's something wrong with them. I don't see it that way.

I'm interested in understanding how your experiences have shaped the way you think, feel, and
respond to the world. This means looking at the bigger patterns in your family, culture, relationships
and the ways you've learned to cope when life feels hard.

Therapy can help us make sense of these patterns, understand where they came from, and recognize which ones may no longer be serving you. From there, we can work toward new ways of responding that feel more aligned with who you are and the life you want to build.

I believe therapy works best when you are an active part of the process. We’ll make sense of things together while building practical tools you can use outside of our sessions.
