My specialty is helping people with relationship problems. Whether you struggle with dependency, distance, fear of being alone, or difficulty setting boundaries and communicating, I can help you break the cycle and build healthy relationships. Issues like low self-esteem, lack of confidence, and trouble embracing your true self often underlie these problems. Together, we can uncover the core issues, recognize your strengths, develop confidence, and reconnect with your values. I also support those overwhelmed by overthinking, social anxiety, sadness, depression, and perfectionism, guiding you toward empowerment, growth and happiness.
In our initial sessions, I'll focus on getting to know you and helping you feel comfortable to share your story. As we build trust, we'll explore deeper issues, tailored to your unique needs. We'll work through emotions, learn practical self-care, and strive for balance. We will find strength, resilience, and self-esteem, and create meaningful connections.
I'm passionate about helping people become their best selves. My own experiences with therapy during tough times have given me a deep respect for the therapeutic process. Experiencing its transformative power firsthand drives my commitment to helping others. Let’s work together to create the change you desire in your life.
