Navigating life’s challenges can often feel overwhelming. You might be grappling with trauma, chronic worry, anxiety, or struggling with low self-esteem and depression. You're looking for more than just coping mechanisms or quick fixes; you seek a transformative healing journey. You want to feel empowered and validated, to see tangible progress in your life. In short, it's time to build a life where past pains and stressors no longer dictate your present or future. You're ready to invest in therapy that extends its benefits beyond the therapy room, integrating what you learn into your daily life for lasting change and well-being.

My therapeutic approach centers around EMDR, a powerful tool for healing from trauma, anxiety, and depression. Also, I use ERP for OCD. I create a supportive environment where compassion, empathy, and validation are key. Together, we'll work towards your goals, empowering you to overcome challenges and foster lasting change.

When you start therapy with me, you'll find a space where your struggles are met with care & a commitment to real progress. We'll tackle the tough stuff together, with a focus on practical healing. If you're ready for a therapy experience that's both nurturing and effective, I'm here to guide you. Let's start this journey, turning challenges into growth.
