You’ve accomplished a lot, but the inner chaos and turmoil has made for a long road. And now, the anxiety, depression, and grief are taking over. They’re dominating your life. To heal and find peace, you know you’ll have to confront the past… but facing the trauma is terrifying. The mere thought of it leaves you feeling completely vulnerable. Delving into what happened could risk the strength and success you’ve managed to achieve. The last thing you want to do is take a step BACK. And you might be questioning your resilience – whether you have what it takes to face the darkness and emerge stronger than ever before.
You have what it takes, and I’ll show you. I'll give you a safe environment to sort through the past so you can acknowledge and understand your pain. Tackling trauma head-on will give you back your power and provide you relief from the burdens you’ve been carrying. I’ll give you strategies to cope, regulate your emotions, and move forward with confidence.
Therapy gives you a window into the many ways your life can take shape after trauma. When you know where you came from, where you are now, and where you’re going, you’ll find the peace and connection that comes from living with purpose and passion. Let’s put you back in the driver’s seat of your life! Call now to set up your free consultation.

I help highly motivated, professionals who are struggling with PTSD and who are shackled with the side effects of severe depression or grief. In our initial sessions, we will identify the immediate issues and create a plan to address them. Most of my clients begin to find peace, connection, confidence within the first month.

"
Using existential therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I guide my clients to explore their values, reflect on their personal experiences, find harmony with their emotions, and develop radical acceptance of themselves. From this, they find renewed confidence and trust in themselves, becoming more courageous in facing the world and building deeper, more reciprocal relationships."
