Have you spent years feeling like something is "wrong" with you? Do you struggle with the effects of Complex PTSD (CPTSD), trauma, anxiety, depression, difficult relationships, or overwhelming emotions? I work with adults who are ready to stop simply surviving and begin understanding themselves with greater compassion. With over 30 years of experience, I help clients discover that many of their struggles are understandable responses to what they've experienced—not signs that they're broken. Together, we'll create meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
My approach is warm, interactive, & direct. I specialize in Complex PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and relationship concerns. Together we'll uncover the patterns keeping you stuck, strengthen emotional regulation, and build practical skills so you can heal, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with confidence
Healing doesn't mean forgetting the past—it means no longer letting it define your future. You deserve a space where you'll feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. If you're ready to understand your story in a new way and discover that you are not broken, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
