My Approach
My approach is relational, holistic, and grounded in the belief that every person holds the potential for healing and transformation.
I integrate psychotherapeutic techniques with body awareness, mindfulness, and emotional literacy to create a safe space for exploration and growth.
Whether navigating life transitions, perinatal experiences, or self-development, I focus on supporting you to reconnect with your strengths, values, and sense of agency.
