My Approach to Helping

My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your feelings and challenges openly. I genuinely care about your journey and am here to support you through both the highs and the lows, without judgment. Together, we’ll navigate your struggles, set meaningful goals, and celebrate each step of progress you make. I bring warmth, empathy, and encouragement into every session, helping you feel seen and empowered. I know that therapy can be a vulnerable experience, and I’m here to walk beside you every step of the way, creating a partnership that respects your pace and comfort. Your journey matters, and I’m excited to help you lead a more fulfilling life.

More Info About My Practice

I believe in the power of empathy, connection, and personal growth, with values rooted in compassion, inclusivity, and respect for diverse experiences. I’m passionate about supporting mental health awareness and volunteer with organizations focused on suicide prevention and emotional wellness. As an advocate, I work to reduce stigma and encourage open conversations on mental health. I also engage with my community through workshops on self-care and resilience. Outside of work, I enjoy quality time with my fiancé, exploring art projects, and practicing Pilates. I believe nurturing mental health is essential to well-being and aim to embody this in my life and practice. My goal is to empower clients to embrace their journeys, build resilience, and thrive. Your story matters, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
