Are you struggling with food, weight/body image? We will look deep into distorted beliefs/body connection. TRAUMA THERAPY-Everyone's life includes some difficulties, but I specialize in working with people who are struggling to deal with the aftermath of deep traumas such as rape, sexual and/or physical abuse, serious accidents or unresolved pain from damaging childhoods or past relationships. Sometimes your pain causes you to lash out at others in anger or retreat from life in an attempt to protect yourself. Healing and transformation is possible through the therapeutic process.

My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for you to understand yourself. We will work together to explore your thoughts, feelings and relationships.

I view the path of a human life span, as each of us interact and perceives the environment around us in our own unique way. My goal is to help client(s) look at their options, evaluate choices, and build toward a healthier outcome.

It is my belief that counseling / psychotherapy can provide a safe place where personal challenges can be processed, and finding choices toward enhancing the quality of life and improve relationships.

Are you hindered by anxiety, depression, or trauma, preventing you from expressing your authentic self? Do you find yourself trapped in navigating challenging family and relationship situations?

The constant exhaustion, stress, and anger make you question your resilience. Unsure of where to seek assistance, you don't have to endure this painful journey by yourself. I aim to assist you in achieving a more integrated and balanced sense of self.
