My journey to mental healthcare
I hold a Master of Arts degree in counseling/psychology. My journey to mental healthcare began with a deep desire to help others overcome life's challenges and achieve emotional well-being. Driven by empathy and a passion for facilitating personal growth, I dedicated myself to mastering evidence-based therapeutic approaches that empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives.
My goals for you
Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I'm here to help you achieve your goals.
My first session with you
During our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and explore your personal history, current challenges, and aspirations. This will help me understand your unique needs and tailor our therapeutic approach accordingly. Together, we will establish a strong therapeutic alliance built on trust, respect, and open communication, setting the foundation for your journey towards healing and personal growth.
