Therapy style

I specialize in helping clients navigate depression and anxiety through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), empowering them to make meaningful changes and experience relief while working toward lasting progress. Together, we'll explore the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to develop practical strategies for positive change and well-being. I strive to create a safe and comfortable space for you to feel at ease discussing anything on your mind. I take pride in offering compassionate, non-judgmental listening, ensuring that you feel heard and understood throughout our work together.

Interests

I enjoy reading and listening to podcasts, particularly those focused on personal development and psychology. This not only helps me unwind but also enriches my practice as a therapist by allowing me to apply valuable insights to my work.
