My experience working with survivors of sexual abuse began at a community crisis center, where I served as an advocate providing immediate support, resources, and compassionate care. That time deeply shaped my understanding of trauma and resilience. It taught me how to hold space for survivors with empathy and strength, and continues to guide my work today as I support clients on their healing journeys with respect, advocacy, and unwavering belief in their worth.

Working with self-esteem challenges has been a meaningful part of my journey as a therapist. I’ve supported clients in recognizing their inner strength, challenging negative self-talk, and rebuilding a sense of worth. Drawing from both personal insight and professional experience, I guide individuals in embracing their authentic selves and creating new, empowering narratives rooted in self-compassion and confidence.

My passion for helping others manage anxiety grew from years of working closely with individuals facing overwhelming thoughts, fear, and self-doubt. Through client-centered approaches, I help people explore the roots of their anxiety, build practical coping tools, and reconnect with a sense of calm and control. I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to navigate life with greater confidence and peace.

I specialize in integrative therapy because I believe no single approach fits every client. With training in multiple evidence-based modalities, I blend techniques from CBT, person-centered, and solution-focused therapies to create personalized care. This flexibility allows me to meet you where you are, adapting our work to your unique needs, strengths, and goals—making the healing process more effective and empowering.

I’m highly skilled in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), using it to help clients identify and reframe negative thought patterns that impact emotions and behavior. With extensive experience and training, I guide clients in developing practical coping strategies that foster lasting change. My approach is goal-oriented, evidence-based, and personalized—helping you gain control, build resilience, and improve your overall well-being.

I specialize in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), with advanced training in London alongside world-renowned experts. This experience deepened my skills in helping clients quickly identify strengths, set goals, and create practical solutions. My approach is future-oriented and empowering, helping you build on what’s already working to create meaningful, lasting change—often in a shorter time frame.
