You might feel like you’ve been carrying more than you can fully name or explain. I work with clients navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and stress related to finances and relationships. I provide a space where your experiences are acknowledged within the context of your journey, with empathy and respect. Together, we’ll navigate what feels overwhelming and work toward clarity, emotional safety, and meaningful transformation.

My approach is trauma-informed and collaborative, drawing from Narrative, Emotion-Focused, and Person-Centered therapy. We’ll explore your story with curiosity and focus on understanding your experiences, while developing tools to support emotional resilience, self-compassion, and personal growth.

Life can be challenging, and therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and strengthen your capacity to handle life’s ups and downs. Together, we can explore what matters most to you, connect with your strengths, and support your growth with care and understanding.
