About me

I care deeply about creating a space where clients feel safe, seen, and supported. I approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, and respect, and I believe that each person is the expert on their own life. My role is to walk alongside clients—listening without judgment, helping them explore what feels heavy or unclear, and supporting them as they move toward the life they want to create.

My approach is holistic, recognizing the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit. I integrate traditional therapeutic practices with mindfulness and movement, drawing on my background as both a yoga teacher and Zumba instructor. This allows me to bring flexibility, creativity, and compassion into the healing process. Each session is tailored to the client’s needs and goals, honoring their pace and the values that guide them.

Clients often leave sessions with a greater sense of clarity, relief, and direction. Over time, they tend to build tools for navigating stress, grief, relationship challenges, and other life transitions with more resilience and confidence. My hope is that therapy helps clients reconnect with what truly matters, strengthen their sense of balance, and cultivate a life that feels more intentional and fulfilling.
