I believe healing is a deeply personal journey, and my goal is to create a safe, open, and non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to show up authentically and celebrate their individuality. I value patience and self-compassion as acts of self-care and encourage clients to embrace the non-linear nature of healing. There are no set rules to healing, but the journey is worth it. Together, we’ll create an environment where you can feel heard, supported, and free to navigate your emotions and experiences at your own pace.

Therapy is a space for self-expression, gaining insight, and growth. While it can sometimes feel challenging or uncomfortable, it’s also a beautiful opportunity to reconnect with yourself and develop new tools for coping and thriving. I use an open-minded and gentle approach, often incorporating expressive arts, mindfulness techniques, and creative practices to help clients discover their strengths and passions, and as a tool for exploring their unique way of expressing themselves. Success looks and means something different for everyone, and my role is to guide and support you in cultivating self-love, self-knowledge, and resilience as you move forward on your life’s journey.
