I also incorporate psychoeducation, mindfulness, and attachment-based work to help you better understand yourself and build healthier patterns.

In our first session, we’ll talk through what’s bringing you in, whether it’s a recent turning point, something you’ve been carrying for years, or just a sense that something needs to change. You don’t need to have all the answers. Together, we’ll begin mapping out your goals and what you’d like therapy to look like.
