Do you feel weighed down by anxiety, struggling in your relationship, or uncertain about your next steps in life? Many people silently carry these burdens — but you don’t have to face them alone.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I specialize in relationships, anxiety, depression, and stress. My role is to help you understand patterns, manage emotions, and build healthier connections. Together, we’ll explore the root of your challenges in a safe, judgment-free space.
Clients often leave sessions feeling more grounded, with greater clarity and tools they can use right away to create lasting change. Whether it’s navigating relationship struggles, healing from trauma, or finding confidence, my goal is to help you move toward the life you want. Book your free consultation today.
