With over 10 years of experience as a licensed therapist, I understand that nurturing oneself is a fundamental aspect of overall well-being. Life's distractions—whether unhealthy relationships, negative self-image, societal pressures, or mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression—often prevent us from acknowledging and tending to our personal needs. I believe that within each of us lies the power and resources needed for growth, transformation, and healing. My approach is centered around meeting you exactly where you are, recognizing the strengths you've developed through adversity, and equipping you with the tools to navigate life’s challenges more effectively. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it's about guiding you toward alignment with the best version of yourself. Together, we can uncover your inner resilience and help you cultivate a healthier, more fulfilling life.
