Associate Therapist

Are you feeling like something is not right, but you're not sure what's wrong? Do you find it challenging to cope with changes in your life? Are you struggling to communicate effectively with your loved ones? If you are, I can help. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, families, and couples. I have experience in resolving communication issues, supporting parent-child relationships, and helping individuals deal with changes in their lives. I can also help with coping with grief and suicidal thoughts. I offer therapy through telehealth (video sessions).

My aim is to provide a safe, warm, and supportive environment where you can share your thoughts and feelings with me. It's essential to be honest with yourself during therapy, and I'll help you create that kind of environment. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me and allow me to assist you on your journey. You are not alone, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
