  • Starting therapy, especially for the first time, can feel daunting — I understand that firsthand. The hardest step is acknowledging you need extra support, and that’s a sign of strength, not weakness. Whatever brought you here, we can work together to unpack it and focus on what you need from therapy and what your goals are.

    I believe the mind and body are deeply connected, and true healing involves nurturing both. Life’s challenges and environments can easily disrupt this balance, and that’s where therapy comes in — offering a consistent, supportive space to help you realign and move forward.
