Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves or others, or unsure how to move forward with deeper emotional concerns and relationship challenges. Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, identity questions, stress related to life transitions, or the impact of cultural and relational pressures, therapy can offer a supportive space to explore your experience. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families seeking understanding, growth, and connection.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in curiosity, respect, and collaboration. I prioritize creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore emotions, patterns, and meaning in your life. I draw from evidence-based frameworks such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-informed strategies, while also paying close attention to emotional experience and embodied awareness. I tailor our work to your unique needs, supporting you in building insight, resilience, and practical tools for change.

I understand that much of our distress takes shape in relationship, and healing often happens there as well. My goal is to walk alongside you with empathy and presence as you make sense of your story and move toward greater clarity and well-being. You deserve a space where your experiences are met with care and respect. If this feels like a good fit, reaching out can be a first step.
