About me

I’m so glad you’re here.
I believe therapy should be a safe and encouraging space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns without judgment. My approach is exclusively text-based, offering a structured yet flexible way to process emotions, recognize recurring thought patterns, and create meaningful change—all at your own pace.

I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness with the Patterns & Pathways (PAP) framework, a method designed to help you:
✔ Recognize emotional and behavioral patterns that may be holding you back.
✔ Reframe unhelpful thought loops and develop a healthier mindset.
✔ Strengthen self-awareness and create new pathways aligned with your goals.

Why Text-Based Therapy?
More Space for Reflection – Writing gives you time to slow down, process your emotions, and gain deeper insight without feeling pressured to respond immediately.
Structured Yet Flexible – You can revisit our conversations anytime, helping you track patterns, recognize progress, and reinforce growth.
Less Pressure, More Openness – Many people find it easier to express themselves in writing, allowing for deeper self-exploration and clarity.
Practical & Actionable – Our sessions will focus on recognizing patterns, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and developing tools you can apply in daily life.
I know that therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time—growth can be empowering, even uplifting, and sometimes a little humor helps too! Whether you're navigating anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, or relationship challenges, I’m here to support you.

Let’s work together to create the change you’re looking for—one message at a time.
