You deserve relationships—and a life—that feel safe, grounded, and truly your own. I help adults untangle the impact of attachment wounds, childhood trauma, relationship trauma, and spiritual trauma so they can build connections that feel authentic and secure. I also specialize in supporting neurodivergent folks as they navigate a world not designed for their brains.
My approach is encouraging, compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed, with a drop of humor—because who doesn't need a few laughs? We will focus on reducing shame, understanding your emotional needs and the roots of your patterns, and restoring trust in yourself. Call or e-mail today to schedule!
Services offered: Mental Health Diagnostic Assessments, Emotional Support Animal Assessments, ADHD Assessments, Autism Assessments, Brainspotting, Psychotherapy Services
