Every person carries a story. Your story matters-because it's the bridge between your past, present, and future. When we give space to our story, we open the door to healing, resilience, and growth.

I practice from a trauma-informed, compassionate lens, drawing from neuroscience and evidence-based approaches. My trainings include somatic, narrative therapy, DBT/CBT for individual work, and Gottman, EFT methods for couples. This allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs -whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges.

Therapy is not about "fixing" you -it's about creating a safe space where you can reconnect with yourself, discover new possibilities, and feel less alone. If you're ready to take that step, I'd love to connect. You deserve support, and you deserve healing.

I work with clients struggling with trauma related concerns. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand. I like to take the time to listen to understand you better. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms soon and sustained improvement thereafter.
