About me
It's easy to overlook our need for self-care when we're busy taking care of other aspects of our lives. Our priorities often revolve around work and our family's well-being, leaving us at the bottom of our list. My aim is to encourage self-determination through therapy. During our therapeutic relationship, we will work together to achieve your goals and find new ways to overcome obstacles and crises. We'll collaborate on identifying your strengths, as it's important to recognize how your current mindset and decisions are impacting the challenges you face in life.

I had my first session with my new therapist and immediately felt a sense of relief. She was able to pinpoint exactly how I’ve been feeling, which felt like a major step toward my goal of healing. Even in just one session, she validated my emotions and clearly understood what I’ve been through. That level of insight and support made me feel seen, heard, and hopeful about the path forward.
