I came to counseling after a career in retail management, driven by the belief that we can all be healthier and happier than we are today. Emotional attunement and feeling understood are essential for healing; I’m honored to provide both as we work toward the version of you that feels balanced, resilient, and authentically you. Clients often tell me the difference they notice right away: I create a space where curiosity, kindness, and self-compassion replace judgment and shame. My goal is for you to look at yourself through that gentler lens—and to carry it into every part of your life. In our first sessions, you can expect to feel truly seen and safe. Together we’ll stabilize the most distressing symptoms first, so you have the breathing room to explore deeper patterns. From there, I’ll empower you with practical education about how the brain and body respond to stress, giving you tools to regulate emotions long after you leave the therapy room.
