Now accepting NEW clients who are navigating relationship struggles, trauma, pregnancy or postpartum. Are you constantly worried, overwhelmed by anxiety, or struggling with sadness, guilt, anger or irritability? Maybe your trauma still feels present, you’re finding it hard to enjoy this season of life, or you and your partner are stuck in the same arguments and communication patterns. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a warm, supportive and integrative therapy space where we can slow things down, understand what’s happening, and work toward feeling more like yourself again.
With years of individual and couples counseling experience, I specialize in helping individuals and couples repair trust, resolve communication issues, & rebuild intimacy. I also specialize in processing trauma, overcoming negative thoughts and beliefs about self. Together we can create a plan to work on your healing that meets your needs.
If any of this resonates with you and you are ready to improve your trauma experience OR you are wanting to build a better relationship, please reach out for a free 15 minute chat to see if we are a good fit together. I work with you to meet your goals as an individual or couple in a safe & supportive environment. I look forward to chatting!
