" The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change. " - Carl R. Rodgers

Therapy can be really tough to navigate, as we all have our own stories of joy and hurt, and we all react to them rather differently to say the least. Toughness aside, therapy offers an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, express your feelings without fear of judgement, and make significant strides toward genuine growth and transformation. My approach is rooted in Carl Rodgers' person-centered philosophy, which means I see you as the expert of your life. We all have the capacity to grow, even in hard times. I'm not necessarily here to give you answers, but to offer you support, empathy, and a space where you feel truly heard as you find your own way, however long it takes.

Areas of Focus:

I am committed to being present for all clients, regardless of their background or the nature of their relationships, whether they are looking for support individually, as a couple, within a family, or as part of a group. I stand by them as they navigate a range of personal interpersonal and external challenges, including communication issues, identity exploration, grief, trauma, and beyond.
