About me

I Don’t Believe in Quick Fixes

I don’t believe in putting band-aids on what might be core issues.

I want to help you explore what’s underneath your struggles, understand the patterns that keep you stuck, and work toward meaningful change. Sometimes, the answers lie in experiences you’ve carried for years.

Therapy isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about finding your way back to yourself.

My Approach to Therapy

Deeper Work, With a Little Creativity

If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma, I can help you find your way back to a place of self-love and compassion.
I incorporate an eclectic approach, drawing from EMDR therapy, Gestalt therapy, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques. Our work is tailored to you because no two people arrive at therapy with the same experiences or needs.
My approach is collaborative and interactive, yet gentle. I want you to feel safe and supported as we work through the things that may be getting in the way of joy and fulfillment.

Empowerment and Creative Expression

Creative expression is an important part of my work. Sometimes, exploring your experiences in different ways can help you connect with feelings that are difficult to put into words.

You are so much more than your pain and suffering.
You are not defined by the worst things you have experienced, and your pain doesn’t have to rule your life.

Whatever you’re facing, your situation is not hopeless.
You don’t have to navigate it alone.

My Story: The Wounded Healer

The idea of the wounded healer recognizes how our own experiences of suffering can shape the way we understand and support others.

As someone who experienced childhood trauma, I know what it feels like to struggle with shame and self-worth. I knew I needed to work on my own healing before I could effectively help others. Through that journey, I found a greater sense of peace, compassion, and acceptance.
My experiences have shaped the therapist that I am today and strengthened my desire to help others find their way through difficult life circumstances.

The Beginning of My Healing Journey

Finding The Courage to Ask For Help

When I was 13, I found the courage to tell my parents that something didn’t feel right inside of me.

From the outside, everything seemed fine. I had friends, did well in school, and appeared happy. But inside, I knew something wasn’t right.

Walking into therapy for the first time was intimidating, but I was surprised by how quickly I connected with my therapist. Feeling understood and accepted made a difference in my life, and that experience helped shape the work I do today.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud became more painful than the risk it took to blossom

My Mission

Helping You Embrace Your Authentic Self

Your relationship with yourself matters. It shapes how you relate to others, the choices you make, and the life you believe is possible.

My mission is to help you find, accept, and embrace your authentic self. That doesn’t mean giving up on change. It means understanding where you’re stuck, exploring what’s holding you back, and making room for more joy, connection, and fulfillment.
