Feeling overwhelmed due to anxiety, depression, trauma, or the effects of gaslighting and manipulation? My aim to help you feel safe, understood, and supported as we work towards your healing and change. I draw from years of experience in helping women, men, and teens who have faced betrayal and relational trauma and narcissistic abuse. I know that it is not easy to maintain boundaries, deciding the future of a relationship, and navigating the unknown future. Which is why, I offer a calm, compassionate space to explore emotions, develop coping strategies, and rebuild confidence to navigate the hard stuff.
I specialize in narcissistic abuse recovery, trauma therapy, and relationship issues. I use EMDR, IFS, CBT, EFT and Talk therapy to help support you. In our sessions, we work as a team to help you get where you want to be. I also work with couples and family navigating relationship differences. I also offer Christian counselling.
As a therapist, you can expect honesty and openness from me, along with a genuine curiosity about your experiences. While I bring confidence in my skills, effective therapy is a collaborative process that requires your active participation as well. I offer a free 20-minute consultation so we can see if we’re a good fit to work together.

I work with individuals navigating depression or trauma, often rooted in relationships or family dynamics. In our initial sessions, we'll take the time to understand what you're going through and begin building a personalized plan to help you heal and regain a sense of balance and control in your life. Many of my clients start to notice a shift within the first few weeks.

I start with CBT because it provides a strong foundation for understanding how your thoughts influence your emotions and experiences. From there, we can integrate other therapeutic approaches as needed, such as EMDR and somatic therapy to best suit your unique journey. As we work together, I commit to support you all the way.
