If you're stuck in a cycle of painful memories, anxious thoughts, and behaviors that don't serve you, I want you to know that healing is possible. As a therapist who specializes in helping people overcome trauma, I've seen firsthand how the right support and tools can transform lives. I know how exhausting it can be to feel like your past is constantly weighing you down, affecting everything from your relationships to your sense of self. You might find yourself turning to things like substances or compulsive behaviors to cope, only to feel even more stuck and alone.
If this sounds familiar, I'm here to tell you that you don't have to navigate this journey on your own. In our sessions, we'll work together to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can process your experiences and develop practical strategies for managing your symptoms.
I've worked with teens and adults from all walks of life, and I know that no two people's experiences are exactly alike. That's why I tailor my approach to your unique needs and goals. Whether you're hoping to heal from past wounds, break free from destructive patterns, I'm here to support you every step of the way!
