Build a pathway to wellness.
As a therapist, my role is to create a safe space where you can peel back layers of defense and truly get to know yourself. Our connection with ourselves profoundly impacts our happiness and mental health. This belief informs my work with clients, emphasizing healthy relationship dynamics and interdependence. With training in family systems and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), I track patterns and maintain a broad perspective while providing actionable skills that can create new opportunities. My goal is to help individuals leave behind the burdens of confusion, guilt, and distress, establishing a new narrative filled with clarity, acceptance, and compassion.
