About me
I am an experienced Mental Health Counselor with advanced specialization in depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD, and comprehensive mental health and wellness care.
I’m a therapist who believes healing happens through connection, honesty, and feeling genuinely understood. I specialize in depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD, and the everyday emotional challenges that can make life feel heavy. My style is warm, direct, and grounded—I help clients slow down, make sense of their experiences, and develop tools that support real, sustainable wellbeing.
