• Who is your ideal client?

  I am open to working with individuals of all genders and ages. My ideal client is motivated and committed to embarking on a journey towards mindfulness. I appreciate working with those who are receptive to new ideas and willing to put in the effort to develop positive habits in their daily lives.

• Why do you like being a therapist?

  I love being a therapist because it brings me joy to empower others and share the tools that have also empowered me. I appreciate exploring various healthy approaches to find purpose and peace, making life more worthwhile.

• What’s something you wish people knew about therapy?

  Life often comes in waves, and it can be comforting to have someone to talk to about it. Therapy can be a valuable tool for grounding both the mind and body.

• Why can people benefit from therapy?

  People can benefit from therapy by improving communication skills and gaining greater self-acceptance. The benefits range from changing physical or thinking habits to better expressing emotions, and calming the nervous system.

• What does “success” in therapy look like to you?

  Success in therapy means achieving the goals we set for ourselves, whether it's improving mental health, developing healthier coping mechanisms, enhancing relationships, or gaining greater self-awareness and self-acceptance. It involves progress in managing symptoms, overcoming challenges, and experiencing personal growth. Ultimately, I hope my clients feel empowered, more resilient, and better equipped to navigate life's difficulties.

• What’s something you’d like clients to know about how you work?

  I find joy in working with individuals of all ages. I'm very open-minded and enjoy exploring thoughts and emotions through trauma-focused CBT, DBT, and ACT. Additionally, I love incorporating breathwork, yoga, meditation, and art therapy into my practice.
