As human beings, we all possess an incredible ability to endure suffering and navigate life's toughest challenges amidst a sea of hurt and pain. Yet, within each of us also lies an endless capacity to transform, find new meanings, and heal from our wounds. With guidance, this innate ability can open new possibilities and, most importantly, bring hope. It is my goal to assist you in discovering and embracing these potentials during the time we have together.

My practice draws from a variety of approaches—person-centered, psychodynamic, neuroscience, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive modalities—but at the heart of my work is a deep and sincere respect for your personal journey. As a humanistic, trauma, and depth therapist, I will accompany and guide you on a journey of deep exploration and transformation as you navigate the distinct complexities and challenges of your life.

Our focus will be on profound, lasting change, where instead of over-relying on coping skills, you can find peace within and embrace your authentic self. Together, we will explore your deepest thoughts and feelings to foster a greater understanding of yourself within your unique circumstances. We will cultivate self-compassion and acceptance, learning to see and love yourself even amidst difficult challenges and suffering. We will work to gradually break free from the shackles of past wounds and traumas and reclaim what they have painfully stolen from you, becoming whole.

The journey toward self-discovery, freedom, and wholeness is often not an easy one, but I am here to support and guide you every step of the way.
