nice to meet you
Are you feeling worried, insecure, or doubtful in your relationships? Let me help you achieve the solutions and life changes you're looking for, all while enjoying the process and experiencing yourself in new ways.
Therapy doesn't always have to be painful. You'll have a dedicated space to unload your worries, learn how to navigate challenges with grace, and feel empowered to develop fresh insights about your life.
As for me, I'm most passionate about working with women who struggle with feeling "not good enough," worry about their image, are overly critical of themselves, and avoid situations where they might be judged negatively. Let's work together to help you gain more self-compassion and confidence by getting to know yourself better.

Life doesn’t make any sense without interdependence. We need each other, and the sooner we learn that, the better for us all.

Every criticism, judgment, diagnosis, and expression of anger is the tragic expression of an unmet need.

The pendulum of the mind oscillates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.
Carl G. Jung
The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.
William James
You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.
Brian Tracy
The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.
