Nice to meet you

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, specializing in addiction, anxiety, PTSD, low self-esteem, life transitions, parenting challenges, and behavioral concerns. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, which I tailor to each person’s needs. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences, build on their strengths, and move toward meaningful growth.

Interests

Outside of my clinical work, I maintain a strong commitment to balance and personal well-being.
