My ideal client is someone who is open, flexible, and willing to embrace vulnerability. I enjoy working with individuals who are motivated to grow and change from within, guided by their emotions and a deep respect for their feelings. Therapy, for me, is about connection—witnessing the resilience and capacity of the human spirit while helping clients navigate their unique stories. I approach each session as an opportunity to meet clients where they are, offering a casual and adaptable experience that evolves based on their needs and the moment at hand.

Therapy provides a safe, judgment-free space to explore the fears, insecurities, and unspoken struggles that can hold us back from living authentically. While success in therapy is deeply personal and often intangible, it can manifest as renewal, growth, or a transformative shift in perspective. I bring a casual and easygoing presence to my work, balanced with a willingness to challenge and push when necessary. Together, we’ll explore your inner potential, uncovering new ways to harness it as you move toward a life of greater freedom and fulfillment.
