Life doesn’t always go as planned. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by anxiety and depression, struggling to make sense of a difficult transition. Your relationships feel strained, or the grief of losing someone seems impossible to navigate. Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to face it alone. You deserve to feel equipped to face whatever life throws your way. I support individuals facing anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma. Whether you're an adolescent trying to understand who you are, a young adult navigating complex relationships, or someone later in years looking for deeper connection to your life story, I'm here to guide you
My approach is compassionate, but also research-backed to ensure that the work we do together is effective. I combine ACT, CBT, DBT, and even Expressive Arts Therapy to provide a holistic approach tailored to your needs. I’ve also trained in EMDR to help process trauma in a way that truly facilitates healing.
Through our work together, you’ll find that you don’t have to carry these burdens alone. I’m here to walk alongside you, providing the tools and the compassion you need to feel lighter, more centered, and capable of moving forward. I look forward to meeting you and being part of your journey. Call my office today for your free consultation.
