Are you struggling to navigate life’s obstacles? Things like health issues, trauma, loss, or unexpected life changes? Many people I work with are facing serious illness or life changes in themselves or someone very dear to them. These life events often lead to emotional struggles like anxiety, depression, feelings of loneliness or simply lack of motivation. My holistic approach is aimed at helping you build long-term resilience, learn to manage anxiety, lean into your strengths and support systems and empower you to change, heal and grow.

I take an integrative approach, combining elements of CBT, trauma-informed psychotherapy, narrative therapy, and meaning-centered psychotherapy. No matter the approach my style is warm and I work to create trust and safety so you can be with what is painful, and also celebrate what is life-giving.

My passion is to help you feel better, live better, have hope for your future, and make meaning and find perspective around the inevitable painful parts of life. Give me a call or send an email. I look forward to hearing from you.
