About Me
As a dedicated and compassionate therapist, I am committed to helping individuals navigate their emotional and psychological challenges through a holistic and personalized approach. As a fourth-year clinical psychology student, I blend academic knowledge with practical experience to provide insightful and effective therapy. My practice is informed by psychodynamic and acceptance and commitment therapy approaches.
I am also trauma-focused, bringing sensitivity and expertise to working with clients who have experienced trauma. My approach is empathetic, client-centered, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Whether clients are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or navigating life transitions, I am here to support them on their journey towards healing and self-discovery.
