My approach centers on compassionate, personalized care for those experiencing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and challenges with self-esteem. I'm particularly passionate about helping clients work through social anxiety, communication difficulties, isolation, and life purpose exploration.
My therapeutic practice creates a safe, affirming space for individuals from diverse backgrounds, with a deep commitment to understanding each person's unique journey.
