About

The world feels loud right now. Constant news alerts, political tension, work pressure, family responsibilities—it can feel like you’re never fully off-duty. Even when things look “fine” on the outside, your nervous system may be stuck on high alert. Therapy is a space to slow down and reflect. I specialize in working with people who struggle with stress, depression, low self-esteem, life transitions, and communication difficulties. Together, we'll explore new ways to cope, set healthier boundaries, and nurture self-compassion—so life feels a little more kind. Let's talk about how to reconnect with what feels true and manageable. I bring a depth of experience and you can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you don’t have to have everything figured out. We may explore how past experiences have shaped the way you relate to yourself and others, while also focusing on practical tools for feeling more centered-even when the world feels chaotic.
