How I work and what this means for you

I work with adults in healing from trauma in relationships such as narcissistic and emotional abuse , improving relationships, and rebuilding self-worth. Whether you're navigating anxiety, burnout, low self-esteem, or past emotional wounds, I approach each session with empathy, curiosity, and practical tools to help you create real and lasting change.

Therapy can feel intimidating at first—especially when you're opening up to someone new. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. I want you to feel comfortable bringing your whole self into the room. Together, we’ll move at your pace to explore what’s beneath the surface and shift patterns that no longer serve you.

When we work together, you will come with your own unique experiences. My approach is to provide you wth skills and tools that are meant for you. I lean towards using CBT, Solution-Focused and other forms of modalities, where we are not just reiterating the problem, but we are looking for a solution as well. I want to collaborate with you to determine what you want in your life and help you find ways to make that happen. I want therapy to be a space where you can feel comfortable and heard.
