Message to clients

Working with me means feeling truly seen, supported, and understood. From a young age, I’ve been drawn to helping others, and becoming a therapist was a natural fit. In our sessions, you can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly share your thoughts and emotions. I believe humor is a powerful tool for healing, and I strive to bring lightness when appropriate, helping you feel more grounded and clear about your next steps. My goal is to guide you through life’s challenges with confidence, self-compassion, and a sense of empowerment. Together, we’ll explore your feelings, set achievable goals, and work toward lasting, positive change.
