I believe therapy isn't about fixing what's 'wrong' with you--it's about deepening self-awareness, building resilience, and reconnecting with your authentic self. My person-centered approach prioritizes genuine connection and honors your unique journey. Through a trauma-informed lens, I help guide you from overwhelm to clarity with a compassionate, embodied approach. Using Brainspotting, somatic practices, and mindfulness, I help you increase awareness, process emotions, and cultivate self-compassion. You can expect a warm, affirming space where I listen deeply and support you in achieving your goals.
