With expertise in psychodynamic therapy, AEDP, and Gestalt therapy, I help individuals, couples and families address the root of their struggles—whether trauma, relationship issues, or emotional challenges. Backed by over 15 years of counseling, leadership, and hands-on experience, I’ve built and led therapy programs, trained clinical teams, and expanded mental health services. My approach is grounded in the most recent Neuro-strategies, offering clients practical tools and personalized care to foster meaningful, long-term transformation.
Change happens when we face the deeper layers of ourselves, and that’s where I guide my clients. I help them tap into their untapped potential, unravel the patterns that keep them stuck, and build a more authentic and empowered life. Real transformation comes from within, and together we create the space for that to unfold—one breakthrough at a time.
I understand how overwhelming it can feel to be stuck in the same patterns, whether in relationships or within yourself. It’s not easy to take the first step, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to help you explore what’s holding you back and guide you toward real, lasting change. Together, we can create the life and relationships you deserve.
