Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from the life you want? Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, or simply yearning for a deeper sense of purpose and well-being, you're not alone. Change is possible. My clients often seek clarity, emotional relief, stronger relationships, and the confidence to live more authentically. Together, we’ll identify the patterns keeping you stuck and work toward sustainable transformation so you can thrive, not just survive.
I use evidence-based approaches—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and solution-focused coaching—to help you reduce distress, build emotional resilience, and move toward holistic wellness. My integrative method supports healing from trauma while enhancing your strengths and self-awareness.
Seeking support is a courageous step, and I honor the strength it takes to begin. You deserve a safe, compassionate space to explore your story and move forward with confidence. If you're ready to take that next step—whether through therapy or coaching—I'm here to walk with you. Let's connect and begin your path to healing and growth.

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.
