Hi there, I'm Athena!

If you constantly put others first, lose your identity in relationships, or feel paralyzed by anxiety and self-doubt, you are not alone. I help individuals break free from exhausting patterns of depression, anxiety and codependency. Together we will explore root causes, set healthy boundaries, and navigate major life transitions with confidence.

My focus

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, trauma and self-esteem challenges. We will work as a team to explore the patterns that leave you feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected. My goal is to empower you to reclaim your agency, trust your intuition, and build the practical tools you need to step back into your own power.

My approach

My approach is empowering, collaborative, and non-judgmental. With many years of experience and a diverse range of therapeutic approaches, I tailor my methods to each individual's needs. My practice incorporates evidence-based frameworks, including CBT, ACT, DBT, trauma-informed and solution-focused therapies.
