Bio
If you are feeling overwhelmed, lost, or unsure how to find balance, welcome. Together, we will create space for resilience, vitality, and joy to thrive in your life.
My practice is rooted in understanding the intricate relationship between the mind and body, while also recognizing the wider systems and forces that shape your day-to-day experiences and well-being. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, stress, or feeling stuck, I use a holistic approach that adapts to your specific needs and goals.
I strive to create a warm and empowering therapeutic environment by utilizing an inclusive and relational approach to counseling. My eclectic style is tailored to each individual, ensuring that the approach harmonizes with your unique needs. In this safe and supportive space, you are invited to explore challenges and build on strengths for meaningful healing and growth. Together, we will develop practical tools for positive change, enhancing your relationships, self-esteem, and coping strategies in your daily life.
My background includes supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma, as well as those on their journeys of identity exploration. In my work with couples, I guide them in deepening their connections with themselves and each other. I also specialize in working with individuals living with neurodivergence, differing abilities, and health challenges.
With a focus on cultural inclusivity and collaborative personalized care, we will embark on a transformative path towards self-discovery and wellness, together.
