Nice to meet you

My therapy style is open and collaborative, creating a safe space where you feel heard and understood. I work with individuals navigating challenges like anxiety, life transitions, and self-esteem. I bring a curious mindset, exploring your unique experiences without judgment. We focus on problem-solving while honoring the deeper emotions beneath them. Mindfulness is central to my approach, helping you build awareness and stay grounded. My goal is to empower you with tools for resilience, self-compassion, and lasting growth.

Interests

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and friends, relaxing with my dogs, and finding little moments each day that bring me happiness. Whether it’s enjoying a quiet coffee, walking my dogs, or laughing with loved ones, the simple things mean the most to me.
