About My Clients

I enjoy working with teens, young adults, and adults facing challenges like anxiety, depression, performance anxiety, and life transitions. These individuals are often navigating uncertainty, fear of failure, and seeking guidance to build confidence and develop strategies for success. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients can explore their emotions, set achievable goals, and move forward with clarity and purpose.

My Background and Approach

Working with me means feeling truly seen, supported, and understood. From a young age, I’ve been drawn to helping others, and becoming a therapist was a natural fit. In our sessions, you can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly share your thoughts and emotions. I believe humor is a powerful tool for healing, and I strive to bring lightness when appropriate, helping you feel more grounded and clear about your next steps. My goal is to guide you through life’s challenges with confidence, self-compassion, and a sense of empowerment. Together, we’ll explore your feelings, set achievable goals, and work toward lasting, positive change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that every individual has the ability to trust in themselves and overcome challenges, and that they are deserving of happiness and fulfillment. As a therapist, I value authenticity, personal growth, and the power of genuine connection in the healing process. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients feel seen and understood as they work toward positive change and self-acceptance. I’m committed to helping clients tap into their inner strengths and guiding them through the process of overcoming obstacles, no matter how big or small.
