When cultivating wellness, you may feel overwhelmed and unsure where to start. Perhaps you want to break free from an addiction, limiting beliefs, or a sense of stuckness in your life. Maybe you'd like to increase your sense of agency and find healthier ways to live or cope but need guidance and support to do so.
I have worked extensively with people dealing with addiction issues and underlying factors like trauma and anxiety. I use a variety of therapeutic and evidence-based approaches tailored to each person’s needs. Together, we can create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique situation and helps you build on your existing strengths.
Acknowledging the challenges of real-life circumstances, we can collaborate over time to foster healthier perspectives in a safe, non-judgmental space, promoting adaptability within life's constraints. Let's walk together.

I use attachment-based, CBT, and IFS therapies to address relational dynamics and practical skills. I also incorporate Existential, Humanistic, and Person-Centered approaches for self-awareness and growth, along with Psychodynamic and Narrative therapies to uncover deeper unconscious patterns and reframe life stories. Somatic therapy approaches help to connect mind and body for holistic healing.
