About

We listen, act, and transform

You give so much to everyone else. You push through, hold it together, and try to be what the world expects. But inside, you might feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you’ve lost pieces of yourself along the way. Whether you’re a teen figuring out who you are or a woman who’s spent years putting others first, you deserve a space where you can breathe, be heard, and focus on you. Life has its share of struggles—I know this not only as a therapist but through my own personal experiences. I also understand the power of resilience and healing. You are not broken, and you don’t have to figure everything out by yourself. With a background in both science and mental health, I bring an approach that is both evidence-based and deeply human. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Positive Psychology to help untangle the thoughts and patterns. But therapy isn’t just about techniques—it’s about feeling truly understood, learning to trust yourself, and creating a life that feels like yours. If you’re feeling ready—even just a little—I’m here. "I am not a free woman if the woman next to me is not free." - M. Angelou
