Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed; it means it no longer controls your life." If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Life’s challenges—whether anxiety, past trauma, relationship struggles, or major transitions—can leave you feeling lost, but therapy offers a path forward. I provide a warm, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

With 17+ years of experience, I help individuals and couples navigate emotions, break patterns, and manage stress. My compassionate, tailored approach uses CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s wrong—it’s about uncovering your strength and building a life that aligns with who you truly are.

Many of my clients experience greater emotional balance, healthier relationships, and a renewed sense of confidence. Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s connect and see how I can support you on your journey—schedule a consultation today. I am only a phone call away!
