Sometimes the ways you learned to cope are no longer helping you live today. Anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, relationship struggles, people-pleasing, emotional withdrawal, or self-doubt often begin as ways of surviving difficult experiences. Over time, these patterns can become a story that no longer fits. I help individuals and couples understand what shaped them, heal from old wounds, and create new ways of thinking, relating, and living that reflect who they want to become. Change is possible. Your past influences you, but it does not have to define your future.
Together, we'll identify the patterns that keep you stuck, heal unresolved wounds, and develop practical skills that support lasting change, healthier relationships, and greater emotional well-being. I have 24 years of training and experience in helping people heal and transform their lives using evidence-based approaches, including ACT, EMDR, DBT and IFS.
I know personally and professionally that healing is more than feeling better—it's overcoming self-limiting beliefs, transforming your identity, and taking consistent action toward the life you deserve. Whether you’re facing anxiety, trauma, relationship pain, religious trauma, burnout, or a major life transition, you're not alone. A new chapter awaits you.

I work with clients whose lives have been severely impacted by poor health, trauma and anxiety. During our sessions, we'll work together to explore how these issues have limited your life and robbed you of happiness. I use evidence-based therapies (CBT, EMDT, etc.) that work to help you get your life back. Most of my clients see improvement within a month and sustained improvement thereafter.
