Whether you’re seeking to heal from unresolved childhood trauma, overcome struggles with anxiety or depression, or address relationship issues, I am here to help. With specialized expertise in trauma recovery, addiction, and navigating complex relational dynamics, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to work through life’s most difficult experiences. Together, we’ll create strategies tailored to your unique needs, empowering you to build self-esteem, foster emotional resilience, and cultivate healthy, fulfilling relationships.
My approach draws from over a decade of experience in mental health and substance abuse treatment. I specialize in working with individuals managing opioid dependence and those healing from generational trauma stemming from emotionally unavailable parents. I also work with women addressing low self-esteem, inner child wounds, and parenting challenges.
You deserve a therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, validated, and empowered. With a laid-back, supportive style, I aim to create an environment to openly explore your deepest fears, challenges, and aspirations. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back and take meaningful steps toward the life you deserve.
