About me
At the heart of my work is a deep belief that healing and growth happens through connection. I specialize in relational therapy, which means I focus on the ways relationships—whether with yourself, partners, family members, friends, or even larger societal systems—shape your emotional health and life experience. In therapy, I create a safe, compassionate space where we can explore these dynamics together. Whether you're facing challenges in romantic relationships, family conflicts, or struggles with self-connection, my goal is to support you in building more meaningful, fulfilling connections in all areas of your life.
Using evidence-based approaches, I help clients identify patterns that contribute to distress and develop new ways of relating that foster understanding, trust, and resilience. I firmly believe that clients are the best experts of their own lives, and my role is to support and guide you in unlocking the wisdom to create meaningful change and lasting growth.
It is a profound privilege to be entrusted with your life story. I am committed to providing compassionate, culturally attuned support that fosters healing, resilience, and growth for you. Let's connect!
