I see therapy as a collaborative process—one where clients are not simply guided, but encouraged to take an active role in their healing. With the right support, even the heaviest issues can be transformed into resilience, and life’s setbacks can become the foundation for new beginnings. My purpose as a therapist is to help individuals rewrite their stories, find meaning in their struggles, and embrace the possibility of living with hope, clarity, and purpose.

Approach Description: My approach to therapy is warm, supportive, and practical. I believe healing starts with being heard, understood, and accepted for who you are. Using a blend of solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral tools, and person-centered techniques, I help clients gain clarity, build confidence, and create real, lasting change.
Therapy with me is a collaborative journey—we set goals together, focus on your strengths, and take steps that move you forward. Whether you’re working through anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, or seeking a fresh start, I provide a safe and encouraging space where you can grow, heal, and discover the life you deserve.
