I see therapy as a space where we work together to understand your story, uncover what holds you back, and create meaningful, lasting change. My style is warm and curious, focused on building a safe space where you can explore even the hardest feelings without judgment. I see you as more than symptoms or a diagnosis and will help you notice patterns, reclaim your voice, build insight, and practice skills that bring balance, confidence, and hope into your daily life.
