“I believe that healing happens in the context of safe, supportive relationships. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create an environment where trust can grow and clients feel empowered to face life’s challenges. I’m passionate about walking alongside people of all ages as they navigate stress, trauma and transitions—supporting growth even when it feels uncomfortable.”
