About Me

Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you're dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your experiences and feel genuinely heard. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood-related concerns, stress, identity and self-esteem difficulties, grief, relationship challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, among others. Together, we focus not only on reducing symptoms but also on understanding the patterns that keep you feeling stuck and developing practical tools that create meaningful, lasting change.

Approach

"Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it." Gebran Khalil Gebran I believe that therapy is most effective when you feel understood, accepted, and actively involved in the process. My approach is rooted in Person-Centered Therapy, meaning that I strive to create a safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental environment where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. Alongside this supportive foundation, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches to help identify patterns that may be contributing to emotional distress. Together, we work to understand these patterns, develop healthier ways of thinking, strengthen coping strategies, and build practical skills that can be applied in everyday life. Every person is different, so therapy is never one-size-fits-all. Sessions are tailored to your unique goals, helping you move toward greater emotional wellbeing, resilience, and a stronger sense of control over your life.
