Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, sad, or even unsure why you feel the way you do can feel defeating. When emotions feel bigger than expected or harder to manage, it can be exhausting trying to navigate everything on your own. Tie in trauma to that lived experience, and it can feel unbearable. I understand how important it is to have a space where you feel heard, supported, and able to make sense of what you are experiencing. Sometimes we even think things like, "my problems aren't that bad" or "I know it could be worse, I'll be fine." If that's you, I challenge you to give yourself permission to heal and grow.
I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard, understand their emotions, and begin to regain a sense of control. Through a collaborative and trauma-informed approach, I draw from evidence-based practices like Choice Theory and DBT to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and meaningful, sustainable change.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you have spent so much time trying to manage things on your own. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out; we can start exactly where you are.

I support adults facing trauma, anxiety, depression, and perinatal mental health concerns. I help clients process high-stress experiences, understand patterns, and develop coping skills to restore balance and resilience. This year I will be diving deeper into the clinical side as I undergo training in first responder mental health.
