About My Clients

You feel disconnected in your relationships, pulled between expectations, or unsure of who you are? My clients are often motivated, introspective, and ready to explore meaningful change while they learn about themselves. Many are naturally curious and insight-oriented, seeking not just symptom relief, but a deeper understanding of their patterns, emotions, and inner world. They are open to growth (even when it feels uncomfortable) and committed to building a life that feels aligned and genuine.

My Background and Approach

Who gets to write your story? You do! I take a strength-based, empowering approach that centers your inner power, resilience, and capacity for growth. In our work together, you won't be "fixed", you'll be supported in recognizing the strengths you already carry and learn how to use them with intention. Through my experience helping individuals explore identity and life meaning, I guide clients in developing a more complete, grounded, and compassionate understanding of themselves and the world around them. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, you get to exercise your ability to "think about your thinking," challenge unhelpful patterns, and reconnect with your values and your voice. Come as you are, be open to meaningful, authentic change, and step outside of your comfort zone. You'll begin to see that the ability to heal, grow, and feel at home within yourself has been with you all along...you're simply learning how to access it.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I hold a deep belief in the resilience of humanity and our innate capacity to heal, grow, and become whole again. I recognize that mental and emotional health aren't solely dependent on you; socioeconomic factors, cultural background, societal expectations and personal beliefs play a powerful role in your well-being. It is important for me that you feel seen within these contexts so you understand that your experiences are not happening in isolation, but within larger systems that deserve acknowledgement and care. When you are able to recognize the influence of the world around you in your experiences, you can lessen the shame and self-blame. Reach out when you're ready.
