My role as your therapist is to create a compassionate, non-judgmental, and supportive environment for self-exploration and healing. Whether you are experiencing a challenging life transition, difficulty in relationships, looking to change unhealthy habits, or just want to get to know yourself better and integrate mental wellness into your overall health.
I am here to support you with space and tools to recognize your own strengths and realize your potential for happiness. I believe that healing is most effective when all aspects of ourselves are aligned - mind, body, and spirit; therefore, my therapeutic approach is holistic, mindful, psychodynamic, collaborative, goal-oriented, and integrative.
“By practicing mindfulness and compassion for yourself, you will recognize that although there will be challenges, you are moving in the right direction”
