Trauma does not always present as a single event or clear memory. It can appear as anxiety, grief, dissociation, relationship patterns, shutdown, or a life that looks functional while still feeling difficult to live inside. I primarily work with adults whose symptoms often point to something deeper than what is immediately visible. My role is to help clients process what has been carried emotionally, psychologically, and relationally so relief and meaningful change become possible.

Going through separation and divorce is a rough process. The yelling, the tears or the fights that happen in the house is keeping you up at night and/or make you worry about your future. It is already difficult to discuss what belongs to who at this point, not to mention there are children involved. You want your children to be ok, but not sure how. Things that your partner said or did in the past seem to be stuck in your head and make you angry or sad. You want peace, you want no conflict and a way out of this emotional disaster. Talk to me, I am here to listen.

Life transitions can be overwhelming...both the welcomed and the not-so-welcomed. Who do you turn to when you don't think you can talk to anyone, when you're stuck, when you're not sure if anyone will understand? Are you facing events and situations you can't quite wrap your head or heart around? Maybe you just need a neutral third party to just listen to your words? Maybe you haven't been able to make sense of what's happening, especially if the only words you've got for it is "The Change".

Most of us desire to live our lives with a sense of confidence, purpose, and closeness with others, but difficult life experiences can lead us to build walls for protection and safety, and as a result, we can lose our sense of connection with ourselves and others. If you are here, you may be feeling some combination of lost, alone, stuck, anxious, afraid, unsure, frustrated or angry, overwhelmed, grief, worried, low, sad and/or depressed. We can work together to help you bring a greater sense of control, satisfaction, and ease into your life.

Now is the time to begin — even the smallest step can spark meaningful change.
Life can sometimes feel heavier than expected. You might find yourself not quite feeling like yourself — your thoughts may be scattered, your emotions more intense, or your relationships more strained. Whether it’s anxiety, parenting stress, or relationship struggles, these challenges can feel isolating. And if you're an immigrant, navigating cultural differences can also be emotionally draining at times.
