Accepting New Clients! If you're struggling with relationships, parenthood, or emotional dysregulation, welcome :) I enjoy working with people who want to gain a greater understanding of themselves, process generational trauma, understand the difficult dynamics of adult child-parent relationships, or parenting your own children. Where we've come from tells us a lot about what we need, and I love helping people understand their "why".
I am strengths-based, and work from an attachment-focused approach. I am a "root-of-the-problem" kind of person, with a compassionate, yet direct POV. I fiercely support and advocate for my clients, while fostering the ability to do the same for yourself. I use evidence-based models & quick wit to work through problems together!
You deserve support and emotional wellbeing. Therapy is hard work, but I'm here to hold space for all the stuff that has gotten too heavy for you to carry alone. Come as you are, and I'll support you along the way! If you're ready to take on the challenge of personal growth, please don't hesitate to text or email me for availability!
