I know it is a big step to look into therapy for your mental health. Utilizing a trauma-informed care model, I believe in the transformative power of human connection, corrective emotional experiences, and a pathway of self-discovery and growth. Compassion and personal growth is the heartbeat of my practice. I understand that every individual's journey is unique, and it's with genuine understanding and a non-judgmental spirit that I approach each client. My aim is to create a safe and nurturing space for you as you explore your- your past, your present and your future.
