As an experienced therapist, I understand the mix of apprehension and hope that comes with starting therapy. Having sought therapy myself as a young woman, I vividly remember the vulnerability and uncertainty of opening up, as well as the immense relief and empowerment I felt afterward. That experience inspired me to pursue my education and become the therapist I am today. It’s an honor to now guide others on their own journeys of self-discovery and growth.
