Therapy has supported me through some of the major challenges in my life by helping me gain clarity, resilience, and balance. I am passionate about my work and provide a space where you can slow down, reflect, and heal without judgement. In that safe space, you will be seen, heard and respected as we uncover patterns that no longer serve you and create practical strategies to support meaningful and lasting change.

My education and training includes Depth Perspective (Jungian) Psychotherapy, Somatic Healing, Mindfulness Practices, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprogramming (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), allowing me to integrate insight-driven exploration with tools that deliver real world results.
