I understand the courage it takes to open up about your thoughts and feelings, and I’m dedicated to creating a safe and trusting environment for you to explore your experiences. Whether you're dealing with anxiety from major life transitions, exploring your identity, or striving for a healthy mind-body balance in a demanding environment, I’m here to help you develop effective strategies and foster personal growth.
