Many of the people I work with arrive feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure where to begin —but something inside them is ready for change.
If these words reflect your own story, I offer a space where it can be heard, understood, and gently held. Therapy here is more than a service — it is a relationship built on trust, presence, and emotional safety.
If these experiences resonate with you or someone you love, I support people across different stages of life and emotional needs, each carrying their own story and longing for relief, clarity, and connection.

My work is relational, trauma‑informed, and grounded in compassion and clinical expertise.
