I am accepting new clients for evenings and weekends! Do you feel overwhelmed by your own thoughts—unsure how to quiet the constant worry or self‑criticism? These patterns can come from past experiences or our upbringings, and they can leave us feeling stuck. I work with clients who have experienced trauma, with a focus on childhood experiences. Trauma can change the way we see ourselves, others, and the world. It can affect how we show up in relationships, sometimes by leaving us feeling unworthy or by making it difficult to trust others. As a therapist, I aim to help you make sense of your struggles, and create space for healing.
I am trained in many areas of mental health, but I specialize in therapies for trauma, OCD and anxiety. I also enjoy working with parents, adolescents, and children. My approach is always based on what works best for you, ensuring that our work together feels supportive and tailored to your needs.
My priority is to help you feel comfortable throughout the therapy process. Together, we’ll explore the root of your struggles and discover practical strategies for moving forward. I invite you to reach out for a free consult to see if we might be a good fit.

I use a combination of many different therapies. There is not one approach that works better than others and given that everyone is different I think it is important to pull from a wide range of approaches
