Personal Statement

You are the expert on your life—and I’m here to support you as you navigate what’s next. I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, understood, and valued. I’m passionate about creating that space—one where you can explore your experiences without judgment and begin to reconnect with your inner strength and sense of purpose. I see my role as a therapist as walking alongside you, helping you make sense of what you’re going through and empowering you to create meaningful change. I believe that each person holds the ability to grow, heal, and build a more fulfilling life—and it’s my privilege to support that process with compassion, authenticity, and hope.

Theoretical Approach

My approach is rooted in person-centered therapy, which means I see the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for healing. I strive to create a space that is nonjudgmental, empathetic, and collaborative—where you feel empowered to show up as your full self. I draw from approaches that emphasize meaning, self-awareness, and personal growth, and I shape my work to reflect what matters most to you. I believe meaningful change happens when we tap into your strengths, confront challenges with honesty and courage, and work toward your goals with clarity and purpose. Therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all—it’s an active, supportive partnership grounded in trust, insight, and the belief that real change is possible. It’s my privilege to support you as you move toward greater confidence, balance, and connection in your life.
