Drawing upon my personal journey, I intimately understand the overwhelming and isolating nature of our internal struggles. Yet, I firmly believe that life doesn't have to be overshadowed by fear and loneliness. What if we viewed life's challenges as opportunities for profound growth and understanding? What if we discarded societal labels, embracing ourselves with unwavering acceptance and kindness? My passion lies in guiding individuals away from the clutches of suffering and towards the inherent beauty that exists within our lives.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, active listening, and collaboration. I understand that healing from complex trauma, navigating the intricacies of life experiences can be a profound journey. I partner with my clients to empower them to overcome obstacles, develop resilience, and find authentic self-expression and fulfillment. I utilize evidence-based therapies, such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and trauma-focused CBT, to help clients heal from past experiences, rebuild a sense of self, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

I know it can feel isolating to deal with personal struggles, making the road to healing seem like a long and lonely one. My goal is to support you in developing the tools necessary to grow through these challenges. It is important to me that your experience is tailored to your unique needs. You deserve to be seen and heard!

We aspire to cultivate a life filled with love and self-compassion, empowering you with the confidence to navigate life's challenges. During times of mental health struggles, it's common to feel isolated, yet we can work together to illuminate a path forward. Let's reshape your narrative, putting you back in control and creating the life you envision. I specialize in working with adults, the LGBTQ+ community, and neurodiverse individuals seeking support with issues like depression, anxiety, relationships, boundaries, trauma, and life balance.

I’m accepting new clients. Need help with ADHD, anxiety, depression, Long Covid, chronic pain or illness? If you’re reading this: it’s time you reach out for help. Pain is inevitable- suffering is optional. I help you with managing tough times or getting your life on track. I provide a free consultation - so what is there to lose?

You don't have to figure out "life" alone. This can seem overwhelming and lead to feelings of anxiety, depression and confusion. Past or current circumstances can also block us from moving forward. If you are experiencing these feelings, have trauma or feel stuck you can feel better.
