If you are looking to become a better, happier, and healthier person and would like to gain a deeper understanding and love for yourself and others, I can help you. Psychotherapy can improve the quality of your life and/or manage more serious issues such as depression, anxiety, and grief. The process focuses on comfortably connecting with you in a confidential and empathetic, therapeutic setting. Our work will focus on balancing immediate symptom reduction with long-term growth and change. You can expect an honest exploration of family systems, attachment, and trauma, which can sometimes interfere with our ability to thrive.
I will be there beside you on your journey. The goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life. My practice often includes work in the following areas: trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and stress relief for individuals, couples, families, and adolescents.
My focus is helping people heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We can achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing an individual treatment plan.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
