Introduction

Life’s challenges can be overwhelming, and we all need tools to manage emotional well-being, navigate relationships, and balance personal and professional demands. If you're seeking a safe, non-judgmental space to express your feelings and need help building resilience, improving relationships, healing wounds, and regulating emotions, therapy can support you. Together, we can find greater understanding of the thought patterns that contribute to your distress and learn coping strategies. It is my privilege to walk with you through life’s challenges in a grounded, hopeful, and empowered way. In our therapy sessions, we will focus on fostering long-term growth by developing self-awareness and enhancing your communication and relationship skills. I specialize in evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques, which can help you reframe negative thought patterns, and build healthier coping strategies. I understand that seeking therapy can feel like a big step. I am here to listen without judgment, support you with compassion, and work with you to help you move toward healing and growth. If you’re ready to start, or even if you just want to talk about whether therapy might be right for you, I encourage you to reach out. Your well-being matters!
