Therapy is incredibly valuable, but it can also be vulnerable and challenging at times. I am here to support you with trauma, anxiety, grief, perfectionism, and life transitions. I am passionate about working together to uncover the root causes, processing and understanding the emotions involved, and healing the mind-body connection. Through our work together, we will focus on identifying and unlearning negative self-beliefs, helping you develop healthy ways to cope, and guide you in the journey of rediscovering your authentic self.
I've had the privilege of practicing in mental health for the past eight years. Combining science with a personal touch, my sessions are down-to-earth. I provide a trusting space where your presence is acknowledged, your voice is heard, and your worth is recognized.
I get it, taking the first step towards therapy can feel scary, and I want you to know that you're not alone. Together, we'll explore your story, focus on your goals, heal, and identify the strengths and resilience within you. Send me an email or visit my website to set up a 15-minute free virtual consultation to get to know each other!
