A Counseling Psychologist with over three years of experience walking alongside people in their recovery journey. I believe that every individual deserves to be understood with compassion, not judged by their struggles.
In my work, I use an integrated approach towards therapy inculcating tools from CBT, ACT, DBT, MET, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients work through emotional pain, develop healthier coping strategies, and rebuild trust in themselves.
My purpose is to offer a safe, caring space where you feel heard, supported, and hopeful because recovery is not just about breaking free from addiction, it’s about finding yourself again.
