I am an experienced and compassionate counselor dedicated to helping individuals struggling with depression, anxiety and relationship issues.

I am a compassionate counselor dedicated to supporting individuals facing the challenges of depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. In my practice, I seamlessly integrate mindfulness and compassion-based therapy into every session, recognizing the profound impact of our inner dialogue on our well-being. I believe that understanding how our inner talk can create suffering as we react to our self-perceptions is essential. This is where compassion and mindfulness become powerful tools for shifting our mind states and promoting healing.

Furthermore, I emphasize the importance of adopting a body-mind approach, acknowledging that our physical sensations and emotional states are interconnected. This approach enables us to explore not only our thoughts and feelings but also how they manifest in our bodies. By nurturing this holistic perspective, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and develop effective strategies for coping with life's challenges.

My counseling approach prioritizes non-judgmental listening, creating a safe, empathetic space where clients can explore their struggles and the narratives they construct within themselves. As a trauma-informed counselor, I understand the lasting effects of past experiences and strive to help clients navigate their healing journey with sensitivity and expertise. If you're seeking a counselor who combines expertise, empathy, and a trauma-informed approach while fostering awareness and self-compassion through a body-mind approach, I'm here to guide you toward a brighter, more resilient future.
