“It is a privilege to walk alongside you as you grow, shift, and take back control of their lives. Therapy isn’t about fixing—it’s about learning, understanding, and moving forward in a way that feels true to you

“It is a privilege to meet you and form a relationship built on validation, positive commitment to challenging old patterns and engaging you with warmth, mindfulness, acceptance and cognitive reframing.”
