About Me

I am an experienced therapist who provides support for anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, and life transitions. I work collaboratively with clients to set goals, develop practical strategies, and promote emotional well-being. I help combine solution-focused approaches with attention to external support systems to help clients build resilience, confidence, and balance in their lives. Clients describe me as empathetic, attentive, and authentic, creating a supportive and collaborative therapy experience.
