My ideal clients are children and adults who feel overwhelmed by life’s transitions or deep-seated wounds. They may be navigating the weight of anxiety and depression, or the specific pain of trauma. These individuals need a safe harbor where they can explore their identity and emotions without judgment. Whether it’s a child struggling to regulate big feelings or an adult trying to reconcile their past with their future, their goal is to find a sense of safety and "wholeness." They want to understand their own internal world so they can move through the external world with more confidence, peace, and resilience.

I specialize in working with young adults who seem to have it together on the outside but are struggling on the inside. Taking that first step to talk to someone can be incredibly difficult, but that in it of itself kickstarts the process of growth.

Has it become harder to get out of bed and find joy, peace, and happiness throughout your daily routine and relationships? Have you noticed that the past negative experiences or trauma you have endured is controlling your present life? In times of trouble, how do you cope? Depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationships can cause us to experience many different emotions on a daily basis. Each day those emotions can leave us feeling very empty and alone which can then lead us to coping in ways that prevent us from being the best versions of ourselves.
