Life is unpredictable. Past traumas and unhelpful habits can turn unpredictability into anxiety, unhappiness, or just feeling stuck...but it doesn't have to feel this way. I can support you in overcoming obstacles to be your authentic self while developing the awareness to become more confident, adaptable, and resilient in your life. I want your therapy session to feel like a conversation with someone you trust, free of judgement and full of understanding and empathy.
In my sessions, I use a range of talk therapy and EMDR trauma processing. Together, we can explore your inner thoughts, hopes and fears, recognize choices within your control while adapting to changes that are not, and resolve disharmony with others and within yourself.
As someone who has managed major life changes in my own life numerous times, I understand the multitude of emotions that come with it. I am passionate about helping others work through anxiety and negative talk to find the courage and motivation to move forward with the life you want and deserve to live. Let's talk.
