Are you someone who has endured the burdens of trauma and it feels like you're trapped in the labyrinth of your past? Are you constantly dealing with emotional overwhelm, dissociation, feeling on edge, relationship issues, loss of identity, avoidance, numbing, intrusive thoughts and memories, and unexplainable physical symptoms?

The key aspect to treatment is establishing a therapeutic relationship, first. Building trust and understanding the person I am helping is important and leads to better results. In therapy, I come from a compassionate, empathetic, supportive approach. I work collaboratively with individuals on the goals they want to work on. Together we will explore what may be challenging and devise a plan on how to overcome those challenges and celebrate success.

I collaborate with clients to re-establish (or establish for the first time) a sense of self-worth. I provide a safe space to explore and process any trauma they carry with them. I enjoy supporting clients as they cope with change, whether that's a pending move, acclimating to a new location, a change in relationships, or uncertainty about the future.

I believe we all have innate strengths and resources that can be tapped into to help us on our road to growth.

I have been providing psychotherapy to individuals since 2019 and have experience working with an array of issues including anxiety and mood disorders, loss, living with chronic conditions and coping with trauma.

Feeling good about yourself (and your life!) is NOT impossible; but I understand your struggle, because feeling stuck & overwhelmed are where many of my clients start.

Whether it's sleepless nights, relentless anxiety, and flashbacks that are overwhelming - there can be healing. Whether it's conflict with your family, poor communication with your friends, or feeling hurt by a partner - there is hope.
