Description

I'm honored to join you on your journey of healing and self-discovery. With compassion and curiosity, I explore the unique challenges and triumphs that shape each client's life.

My approach balances addressing immediate needs with uncovering the roots of issues for deeper understanding. I create a space of empathy, working with clients of all ages, and tailoring therapy to their needs.

We’ll navigate difficult topics like sexuality, addictions, boundaries, and spirituality, fostering a safe environment for growth. Together, we’ll build a foundation for a brighter, more fulfilling future.
