At the heart of individual psychotherapy is a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental relationship between client and therapist. I am committed to creating a trusting, compassionate, and collaborative environment where you feel heard, respected, and understood. Within this secure space, my goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, compassion for yourself, and achieve the goals that brought you to therapy.
Over the years, I’ve worked with individuals navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. Through careful listening and thoughtful exploration, I aim to help you identify the root causes of your struggles. Together, we will work to heal emotional wounds, address obstacles, and develop more empowering perspectives. This may include examining critical self-beliefs or outdated assumptions that limit your growth, and when helpful, exploring how past experiences influence present-day challenges.
