About
I’m a compassionate, holistic, and empathic psychotherapist who supports the whole person—mind, body, and soul. I work with neurodiverse individuals, parents navigating challenges, and clients healing from trauma, including inner child work. I believe that when one part of life feels out of balance, it can affect emotions, stress, and daily functioning. Together, we gently explore these connections to restore balance, build resilience, and support meaningful, lasting well-being! I believe therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. I collaborate with you to create a supportive, empowering experience tailored to your goals. I draw from CBT, DBT, MI, EMDR, and hypnotherapy, and may incorporate mindfulness, inner exploration, or past life regression when appropriate to support insight, clarity, and deeper self-understanding.
