Accepting Clients

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t the “right words” or a clear plan before you start. Just showing up is enough.

About My Clients

You don't have to have it all figured out before coming to therapy. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, identity exploration, sexuality, or life transitions. My goal is to build a genuine, supportive relationship where you feel understood, challenged when needed, and empowered to create meaningful change. Together, we'll create a space where you can be fully yourself, feel heard, and work toward the life you want.

My Background and Approach

I am a Master of Social Work graduate who believes that healing and growth happen through authentic connection. My experience includes working with survivors of interpersonal violence, providing victim advocacy services, facilitating sexual health education, and supporting individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, and major life transitions. Whether you're processing past experiences, exploring your identity, improving relationships, or learning new ways to cope with life's challenges, my goal is to walk alongside you as you build greater confidence, self-understanding, and connection with yourself and others.
