For the past 8 years, I’ve worked closely with elderly and disabled individuals, supporting them through life’s emotional and practical challenges. Before becoming a social worker, I worked in banking, but I felt a strong pull toward work that allowed me to truly make a difference in people’s lives. That calling led me to counseling. I bring compassion, patience, and a deep respect for each person’s story into the work we do together.

When you've been carrying anxiety, relationship stress, or the pressure of holding everything together for so long, it can start to feel like you're simply surviving instead of truly living.

You deserve a space where you can let your guard down and be met with compassion instead of judgment.
