I work with clients who feel that a significant loss or difficult experience has shaken their sense of who they are. Whether you’re grieving the death of a loved one, navigating betrayal or divorce, carrying the weight of past trauma, or coping with family trauma that has shaped your sense of self, it’s normal to feel disconnected and uncertain about the way forward. In our work together, we create a safe, compassionate space to sit with your feelings and gently explore your story. My goal is to help you rediscover meaning, reconnect with your strength, and shape a life that feels whole, even with the challenges you’ve faced.
My work is grounded in a relational approach. Healing from trauma and grief doesn’t happen in isolation, it happens in the context of feeling understood and emotionally safe. In our work together, I pay close attention to patterns that show up in your relationships and in the therapy space itself. This helps build insight and allows you to break free.
I work with teens and adults to move beyond symptom relief toward deeper emotional healing and self-trust. Together, we focus on building healthier relationships, stronger boundaries, and a more secure sense of self. Over time, clients often discover their own resilience, worth, and capacity for growth, gaining confidence in navigating life’s challenges.

I work with clients who are struggling with relational issues, anxiety, depression, and trauma that are affecting their quality of life. Therapy is a warm and inviting place to experience a sense of wise compassion, where I can hold up a mirror for the patterns and behaviors you haven't been able or willing to see in attempts to not repeat the same cycles.
