I am accepting new clients and am covered by all major insurance providers. I work with children, teens, young adults, and women, offering compassionate, trauma-informed care. Drawing from both professional expertise and lived experience, I understand life's many challenges. I support clients experiencing childhood trauma, sexual assault, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, ODD, parenting concerns, and women's issues. I believe healing is possible, empowering you to create meaningful change and rediscover joy in life.

In Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while incorporating elements of shadow work. Together, we explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck, without judgment or shame. Healing begins by understanding how past experiences shape your present, identifying triggers, and developing healthier ways to cope.

Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps, but you don't have to face life's challenges alone. I provide a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can feel safe, heard, and understood. Together, we'll work toward healing, growth, and lasting change. When you're ready, I'd be honored to support your journey.
