I offer trauma-informed care & have experience working with parents, fertility stories, women issues, individuals, sexual assault victims, depression, anxiety, navigating identity, self-esteem issues, relationships, communication & parenting.

Life can be hard, often leaving us feeling bewildered and isolated. It can be scary to begin to open up what might feel unknown, daunting, or overwhelming. Together we can exhale, check in, and gently begin to process and unpack what it is that you are carrying. My hope is that through our work together you can begin to reconnect with your core self and those around you.

Change is not linear. I understand the numerous challenges in life that can make you feel as if you have gone nowhere. The anxiety that sets in is alarming and the depression that may later consume you feels debilitating. However, my work has also taught my the impact we often have on our own suffering: how we often jump to "I can't" instead of "I can try." We have all found ourselves deep in self-doubt, feeling stuck in the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Are you hoping to see how change and success can become more linear overtime? My approach can help you get there.
