My clients are individuals who feel weighed down by anxiety, overwhelm, or difficult life experiences - whether from trauma, stress, or ongoing challenges. You may find yourself stuck with intrusive thoughts, avoiding certain situations, feeling on edge, or struggling to connect with others the way you’d like. Together, we create a safe space to process what you’ve been through, understand what’s happening now, and build skills to feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control of your life.
Using evidence-based approaches (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, and Trauma-Focused CBT), I guide clients through tailored, structured treatment plans. We track progress with validated measures and develop practical coping skills to foster resilience and emotional flexibility.
Healing from trauma can feel isolating and overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your experiences and build strength. I’m here to listen, validate your story, and support your healing. If you’re ready to take the next step toward recovery, reach out to begin your journey.
