Nice to meet you
Welcome—I'm really glad you made it here.
Starting therapy isn’t always easy, especially when you’ve had to hold it all together for so long. I work with individuals who are ready for a space to express every part of themselves—where they can just be.
In our work together, I show up with care, honesty, and respect. My approach is rooted in connection, trust, and making sure you feel seen—not just as a set of struggles, but as a full person with history, wisdom, and strength. We move at your pace, with room for softness, real talk, and growth.
I’ve got space for you here.

Interests
Outside of work, I enjoy unwinding with video games and getting lost in a good TV series. I’m also a big fan of brunch—there’s something about good food and relaxed vibes that always hits the right note. These little joys help me recharge and stay balanced.
