Everyone faces challenges, but we all have the capacity to grow and thrive through them. As your therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore life's difficulties and discover the strength within you. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults to process intense emotions, recognize thought and behavior patterns that may be causing distress, and develop new skills to enhance your well-being and relationships. With a collaborative, strength-based approach, we will work together to navigate your unique journey toward growth and healing.
