Personal Experience & Biography
Life can feel overwhelming, whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, or relationship challenges. You may feel stuck, uncertain, or weighed down by self-doubt, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating these challenges, offering a supportive and collaborative space to help you gain clarity, build confidence, and create meaningful change. With a background in psychology and health, as well as experience working with diverse communities, I understand how personal and cultural experiences shape the way we cope and connect.
I provide a supportive and collaborative space where we can explore what’s holding you back, gain clarity, and build confidence to create meaningful change. My approach is tailored to your unique experiences, blending psychodynamic therapy, CBT, somatic techniques, and solution-focused strategies. I’m not just here to listen, I’ll also challenge and support you in breaking free from unhelpful patterns so you can move toward the life and relationships you want. Change isn’t always easy, but it’s possible. Let’s take that first step together.
