I work with individuals who are seeking guidance to rediscover who they are, especially those navigating self-esteem challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is supportive yet direct, creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and motivated to grow. Each session is tailored to your unique needs and goals, because no two journeys look the same. Together, we’ll find the balance and tools you need to move forward with clarity and confidence. My approach I believe therapy works best when it feels like a collaboration. Together, we’ll explore the experiences and patterns that shape your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques as a foundation, while integrating other approaches to meet your unique needs.
