Starting therapy is a powerful step, and I would love to support you on your journey. I work with individuals facing everyday stressors, life transitions, or unresolved experiences from the past that may affect the present. I believe emotional health is just as important as physical health, and together we can create a holistic, collaborative treatment plan that fits your needs. I offer a warm, gentle, and nonjudgmental space and will meet you wherever you are in your process.
