About
Are you struggling but open to the process of growth, self-exploration, and change? Perhaps you're dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or major life transitions (like a job loss, break up, or identity shift). Maybe you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed and don't fully understand why. Life gets heavy sometimes; stress builds, relationships strain, emotions get tangled, and it can feel like you're barely keeping up. Whether you're feeling anxious, stuck in old patterns, grieving something (or someone), or simply trying to find your way back to yourself, I'm here to help. As a therapist I support people who are experiencing anxiety and overthinking, depression and burnout, life transition and identity shifts, relationship struggles, and trauma recovery. In therapy, you don't need to show up with the answers, just a willingness to be real. We'll work together in a space that's safe, supportive, and grounded in compassion.
