My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to mental healthcare began with a deep desire to help others navigate life's challenges and find meaning and purpose in their lives. Through my extensive clinical experience working with diverse populations in various settings, I have honed my skills and developed a holistic, client-centered approach to therapy.

I am committed to supporting you on your journey towards personal growth, healing, and achieving your highest potential.
My first session with you
During our first session, my focus will be on creating a warm, welcoming environment where you feel comfortable sharing your story. We will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, explore your goals, and begin to develop a personalized treatment plan. This initial meeting is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and determine if we are a good fit to work together on your journey toward improved mental health and well-being.
