Introduction

I know that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and I want to make that process as comfortable as possible for you. Building a strong and trusting relationship is at the heart of my approach, because I believe that feeling safe with your therapist is essential for real progress. I recognize that everyone is unique, and I aim to create a welcoming environment where you can express yourself freely. My goal is to listen actively and work collaboratively with you, helping you uncover your strengths and move toward your personal goals. I use evidence-based practices to address issues like anxiety, depression, and life transitions, all while focusing on your individual needs. My approach is trauma-informed and culturally sensitive, ensuring that we can explore your challenges in a way that respects your experiences and background. If you’re ready to take this journey together, I’m here to support you every step of the way. You don’t have to navigate this alone!
