Clients often describe my approach as both straightforward and compassionate. I strive to create a supportive space where individuals feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore new perspectives. My work is rooted in the belief that therapy should not create dependency, but instead help clients develop the insight, skills, and confidence to care for themselves beyond our sessions. I focus on helping each person connect with their sense of agency, purpose, and identity—building resilience and encouraging authenticity in the process.
My passion for counseling is deeply informed by my own lived experience. I understand, on a personal level, the weight and complexity of mental health challenges. This perspective allows me to bring empathy and relatability to my work, while maintaining clear professional boundaries. I know what it’s like to feel uncertain about your own capabilities, and I also know the transformative power of support, education, and self-discovery.
Becoming a counselor has been my way of giving back to the professionals who helped me during my most difficult moments. Today, I am committed to walking alongside my clients as they navigate their own journeys—helping them recognize their strengths, overcome obstacles, and move toward lives that are more meaningful, empowered, and true to who they are.
