Trauma is defined as an experience that overwhelms the person's ability to cope at the time of the experience. This can range from being bullied as a child, divorce, or loss of a job, and the more classically understood life-threatening events (natural disasters, war, near-death experience). I'm am trained to deal with not only acute and recent traumas resulting in flashbacks and nightmares (reliving experiences) but also in childhood developmental, sexual, and complex trauma which have more complex impacts on how we cope daily, our personality, beliefs, everything in between. Let's make changes together.

It can be difficult trying to cope with distressing times on your own. Sometimes friends and family can only help so much. As an experienced psychotherapist, my role is to give you caring, non-judgmental support so that you can make sense of your emotions and gain a clearer picture of how your past plays a role in your current relationships.
You will begin by telling me about yourself and the reasons why you've come to therapy and then we can explore together new ways of reflecting and interacting that will lead to a more fulfilling life.

I work with older adolescents (16+) and adults navigating OCD, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, chronic health conditions, depression, and life transitions, offering a compassionate and personalized approach to therapy.
From the outside, it may look like you're managing. You show up for work or school, meet your responsibilities, and keep going, but inside your mind rarely slows down. You replay conversations, question your decisions, worry about making mistakes, or feel exhausted trying to hold everything together. Whether you're navigating anxiety, OCD, intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, burnout, depression, or the emotional impact of living with a chronic health condition, therapy can provide a space to feel understood, make sense of what you're carrying, and create meaningful change.

There are times when life is complex and challenging for all of us. However, finding a therapist who is a good fit for your individual needs can feel very reassuring.
