My Approach to Helping

I understand that therapy can be challenging, especially for those who have had negative past experiences or find it hard to trust someone new. My priority is to create a safe, empathetic space where clients feel understood and cared for. I consider it a true honor to hold space for my clients, and I don’t take the therapeutic relationship lightly. I view clients as the experts of their own experiences—my role is to help them make sense of those experiences and co-create a path forward.

More Info About My Practice

I believe that a meaningful community is essential to both individual well-being and the health of society. When we learn to love ourselves and others, we have the power to shape a kinder, more compassionate world. I also believe in the transformative power of stories; by engaging with them, we connect more deeply with ourselves and those around us.
