Intro: 

Driven by a deep belief in the human capacity for positive change, I am a compassionate and insightful future clinician eager to support self-exploration and healing. I aim to create a welcoming and safe space for clients to navigate mental health, relationships, self-discovery, and the specific challenges they may be facing. I see therapy as a collaborative journey of gaining self-awareness and developing personalized tools for growth. I have a genuine curiosity for understanding people’s stories and the complexities of the human experience through research and theory. I am committed to helping clients create positive change and reach their highest potential, and I feel profound gratitude for the chance to walk alongside them in their journey of growth and transformation within the therapeutic space.
