Deciding to start therapy is a deeply personal and often overwhelming decision. If you're feeling stuck—whether it's due to anxiety, chronic stress, avoidance, relationship difficulties, a loss of passion, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or others—you're not alone. I offer compassionate, person-centered care in a safe and welcoming environment. My goal is to help you share your story openly, process emotional pain, and reconnect with a sense of purpose and self. My approach focuses on helping you build practical skills and insights to improve your emotional well-being and relationships.
I help individuals struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, and life changes find clarity, calm, and control. We’ll work toward lasting change using evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs. People often report enhanced communication, greater self-acceptance, healthier ways of coping, and a renewed sense of motivation and focus.
Whether you're seeking to work through past trauma, manage ongoing life stressors, or simply grow in self-awareness, I'm here to walk alongside you. Let’s work together to help you develop a more balanced, resilient mind and body. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation and take the first step toward the life you deserve.
