Nice to meet you

My approach is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and cultural humility. I show up as a real person—warm, open, and without judgment. Whether you're navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, or trying to make sense of your emotions, I offer a space to lay it all down and begin to heal. Clients appreciate my calm presence, thoughtful questions, and the safety they feel in our sessions. Therapy with me is a grounding, growth-oriented conversation where your voice leads and I reflect, guide, and support.
