I practice through a lens of lived experience with trauma and mental illness.
If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, stress, relationship issues or other concerns then finding the right therapist is a step towards finding solutions and increased skills to dealing with these problems. My approach to therapy focuses on helping you become comfortable and confident in your own abilities, while introducing new strategies from evidence-based approaches to help you create a healthier and happier life. Being able to understand your own story and explore the background of your struggles often gives new meaning and an ability to see new solutions to difficult problems. This is what I work towards.

Healing Without Hurry offers a steady space to explore anxiety, life transitions, and trauma.

If only life were filled with roses and daffodils! The reality is life comes with challenges & uncertainty, and no one is immune to it.

I want you to know that I’ve been there, and I know how lonely, frightening, and painful it can be.
