I help people facing depression, trauma, and relationship or family stress, including domestic violence & pregnancy/postpartum challenges. In early sessions we build safety, assess needs, and create a practical plan. I use trauma informed methods. Many clients notice symptom relief within weeks.

I often use CBT to explore how thoughts shape emotions and teach skills to shift them. I also use ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) a brief, imagery based trauma approach that helps reprocess distressing memories and reduce symptoms quickly. In our first session we'll assess your needs and select the best, practical plan to move forward.
