In therapy, I provide a compassionate space to explore how personal and relational histories shape present struggles. I support individuals, couples, and families facing life transitions, conflict, grief, burnout, trauma, and PTSD. These experiences can disrupt a person’s sense of identity, safety, and trust - provoking feelings of anxiety and depression. Some experiences may bring feelings of shame, anger, or disillusionment when core beliefs are challenged or broken.
I have extensive experience in palliative care, hospice, and end-of-life support, where connection and emotional presence are especially vital.
Together we can rediscover meaning, build safety, and trust following life altering events through understanding how your personal history has impacted the patterns and processes occurring in the present. When things feel unfair, or unjust, we can talk about how rebalancing the ledger in contextual therapy may be helpful, and discuss adding EMDR.
The goal is to help you reclaim agency, rebuild trust in yourself and others, and live intentionally. Whether you’re a healthcare provider, first responder, veteran, or facing life-altering challenges, you don’t have to carry this burden alone. Healing isn’t about forgetting the past but learning to live fully in its aftermath, empowered to move forward.
