My ideal clients are adults recovering from childhood trauma (CPTSD), facing challenges like anxiety, depression, addiction, or maladaptive behaviors that impact daily life. They seek to understand the root of their struggles and desire healthier coping mechanisms. Their goal is to replace old patterns with genuine, constructive ones that foster a balanced life. They want to move past pain and build self-worth and resilience, creating meaningful connections and stability. These individuals are motivated by the deep desire to heal and reclaim control over their lives.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in helping clients articulate the root causes of their behaviors and replace maladaptive coping mechanisms with healthy, sustainable practices. I offer a trauma-informed, empathetic approach to empower growth, resilience, and self-awareness.
I understand that confronting past trauma takes courage, and seeking help is a brave first step. My approach ensures you feel safe, supported, and genuinely seen. You don’t have to face this journey alone—healing is possible. Let’s work together to build a path to a more authentic, balanced, and fulfilling life.
