My interest and treatment specialties include (but are not limited to) working with you who are experiencing self esteem issues, anxiety, depression, relationship/marital issues, love/relationship addiction, grief/ loss, codependency and HSP, neurodivergence, and emotional abuse.
I love working with young adults—right now your lives are filled with choices and decisions, and you may be trying to develop deep, long-lasting relationships. You've got so many life transitions going on all at once, and it can be very confusing!
If you also have emotional pain happening in your life at the same time, you may feel "stuck" in moving forward. There's so much to look forward to in your life and you don't want to miss out!

In time and with growing trust, through traveled grief and hope unlocked, wounds and inner barriers begin to soften, your vision broadens, life slowly opens onto pathways new.
Listening to clients' struggles, I am reminded how our increasingly complicated world tests daily our capacity to adapt and cope. Relationships encounter myriad of challenges, our identity undergoes major pressures and shifts. Ourselves as well as our loved ones are faced regularly with crises and upheavals. When feeling overwhelmed, many people seek support as they reach into familiar coping modes, which may no longer be helpful. In this context, therapy may start as a unique form of education and continue as a process of self growth, a journey of profound transformation.
