I empower young adults and women experiencing burnout, trauma, anxiety, and depression—especially those who are highly sensitive, creative, empathetic, or introverted. In our overstimulating world, it's easy to fall into unhealthy patterns or relationships in an effort to feel a sense of belonging. Through talk therapy and creative approaches, I help ground the nervous system, creating space for healing and peace to begin.
It's possible to gain a renewed quality of life & find resilience. We can explore and experience the parts of the internal self through talk therapy as well as other modalities. An imaginative approach to therapy with verbal & non-verbal therapies may also be included if you desire... there is no expectation other than to simply show up and be yourself.
Asking for help and following through can be challenging. I understand life’s twists and turns, and I’m here to walk alongside you. Change is inevitable, but how we respond to it shapes our experience. To support you in making the best decision for yourself, I offer a free “meet and greet” session to answer any questions you may have before booking.
