You may be doing everything you're supposed to do—showing up for work, caring for others, and pushing through each day—while still feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck. I work with adults struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and major life transitions who are ready to create meaningful change. Together, we'll identify patterns that keep you stuck, process difficult experiences, and develop practical tools to help you heal, grow, and move toward the life you want.
I specialize in helping adults heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and major life transitions. Using EMDR, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed approaches, I help clients process difficult experiences, develop healthier coping skills, and create lasting change.
You don't have to keep struggling alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, or a major life transition, change is possible. Reaching out is often the hardest step, but it can also be the beginning of meaningful healing and growth.
