My Approach to Helping

I believe healing is a collaborative process – one rooted in compassion, authenticity, and a strong sense of care. My style is steady and attuned; I offer both gentle presence and thoughtful challenge. When we slow down, we remember we are part of something larger — this can ease the loneliness, self-criticism, and pressure that often weigh us down. We can experience belonging without having to prove or perform, inviting gentleness, authenticity, and new possibilities.

My Values as a Therapist

Counseling is a relationship; one where you get to experience care, discovery, and belonging as your whole self, unconditionally. I make room for you to unlearn, to unravel, reveal, and reconnect to something larger, to all that makes us whole. By turning together toward the wholeness within you — your capacity to care deeply, to play and create, to find clarity, and to imagine new possibilities — our work can support you in living a life that feels authentic, connected, and sustaining.
