About
The wound is the place where the Light enters you. Rumi
If you’re feeling a bit stuck, like life’s lost its spark, I’m here to help you reignite that excitement. Whether you’re missing the thrill of new relationships, searching for deeper connections, or wanting to leave old habits behind, we’ll work together to create real, positive change. Let’s start this journey to discover a brighter, more fulfilling path forward!
As a therapist, my deep empathy and insight allow me to genuinely connect with you, creating a safe and supportive space for you to explore your emotions and recognize patterns that impact your life. By understanding the roots of unresolved emotional wounds, your upbringing, and external pressures, I help you break free from limiting behaviors, empowering you to make choices that lead to greater fulfillment and self-acceptance. I guide you through challenges, support you in improving relationships, changing negative habits, boosting self-esteem, enhancing parenting, and uncovering your passions to ultimately become your true self.
In your first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming environment where you can begin sharing your story. We’ll start with introductions and go over the therapeutic process, including confidentiality and its limits. I’ll take time to understand your background, current situation, and past therapy experiences to focus on the issues most important to you. Together, we’ll set initial goals and discuss what you hope to achieve, and I’ll conduct an assessment to better understand your mental health status and suitable therapeutic approaches. You’ll have the chance to ask questions or voice concerns, and we’ll plan the frequency of future appointments, setting a foundation of trust and support for your journey.
I offer an integrated therapeutic approach tailored to your unique needs, specializing in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting struggles, and self-esteem. I help you create positive change and take action with the "I CAN" attitude.
I am here to listen, hold space for your healing, and nurture your growth. Your liberation is wrapped up in mine.
