I love working with individuals who are willing to challenge themselves and their previous beliefs. Therapy is not a "one-size-fits-all" kind of deal, and healing takes time, has ups and downs, and is far from a linear process. My ideal client is someone willing to try innovative approaches that connect the mind and body, embrace growth both in and outside of sessions, and remain open to the ebb and flow of the healing journey. Together, we’ll create a space where you can explore, express, and grow into the best version of yourself.

As a therapist, I prioritize connection and authenticity. I value being part of my clients’ journeys, whether for a brief transformative moment or a longer chapter of growth. I believe that therapy is for everyone—whether you’re unpacking deep-rooted trauma, exploring future plans, or simply wanting to check in with someone other than a spouse or partner. With me, you’ll find a supportive environment that encourages self-expression, challenges unhelpful patterns, and fosters resilience. Using a person-centered approach, I’ll guide you through practices like mindfulness, use music as a healing element, and relearn breathing techniques, all tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. I am not one to "sugar-coat" things and will challenge you when I see potential within you, but together we’ll build practical and accessible tools for healing and transformation.
