She works collaboratively with clients to develop practical coping mechanisms, resolve core conflicts, heal from past traumas, and identify sources of distress.

Her goal is to guide and support individuals on their journey towards a more balanced, fulfilling existence, helping them build resilience, improve focus, and enhance relationships along the way.


Message to clients

For me, a successful therapy session means you walk away feeling more understood, empowered, and prepared to face your challenges. I strive for each session to be productive, equipping you with tools and coping strategies to use throughout the week and beyond. After our time together, my hope is that you feel a sense of relief and clarity, having made meaningful strides in exploring your emotions and developing actionable strategies.

I focus on creating a supportive space where you can share your thoughts openly, identify key issues, and set clear goals. The strategies we come up with will be tailored to fit your unique needs, helping you reach those goals. Together, we’ll create a plan that includes effective coping skills and brain health principles.

I really value your feedback because it helps us adjust our sessions to meet your changing needs and keep them effective. My goal is to give you practical tools that you can use outside of our sessions, supporting your growth and helping you navigate life with more confidence and resilience.
