From an early age, I was immersed in a high-pressure environment where outward success was paramount. This experience instilled in me a deep sense of discipline, determination, and a relentless drive to excel. As I progressed through adulthood, I began questioning the fulfillment that external achievements provided and developed a longing for deeper purpose. This led me to pursue a career as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor where I discovered a passion for connecting with people on a profound level, understanding their struggles and supporting them through various hardships.
I am dedicated to working with teens and adults through their journey of self-exploration, which may involve identity changes, searches for meaning, and navigating challenging life events. Using an integrated approach, I help clients find self-acceptance, build confidence, and enrich their relationships with themselves and others. Together, we will cultivate the belief that change is not only possible but achievable. We will explore your thoughts and emotions, understand the protective mechanisms holding you back, and work toward creating the life you envision.
I combine Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral techniques to connect your past with your present. This involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, exploring their root causes and implementing behavioral strategies tailored to your unique needs. In our sessions, I provide a safe, supportive space for you to express yourself and examine your inner world. We will collaborate to identify and overcome barriers, enabling you to move toward your goals with clarity and conviction. My mission is to empower you to live a more fulfilling and authentic life, and I am honored to be part of your journey.
