Life can become overwhelming when you're carrying unresolved trauma, navigating identity questions, or feeling disconnected in your relationships. You may long for healing, clarity, and deeper connection, but feel uncertain about where to begin. I work with individuals and couples to process the past, understand themselves more fully, and cultivate stronger, more authentic relationships.
My clients seek support in improving communication, strengthening emotional resilience, and creating lives aligned with their values. Together, we explore challenges, clarify goals, and move toward a future where you feel empowered, connected, and whole.
Using a person-centered, trauma-informed approach, I integrate evidence-based methods to support healing and growth. If you're considering therapy, I invite you to connect for an initial consultation and begin building a foundation for meaningful change.
