I help individuals who feel stuck in cycles of self doubt, emotional overwhelm, anxiety and perhaps perfectionism. Everything looks fine on the outside but you're struggling to keep it all together. You may navigating life transitions, unresolved trauma, family issues, or burn out. Whatever the reason, therapy can help you connect more deeply with who you are, and the life you deserve. With over 25 years of dedicated clinical experience, I offer a nurturing and expert approach to counseling. My practice is founded on principles of non-judgmental support and compassion, fostering a safe haven for personal growth and self-discovery.
I understand that each individual is unique, which is why I customize my therapeutic methods to suit your specific needs. I have specialized training in EMDR, CBT and Pain Reprocessing. Whatever you may struggling with, I am here to provide guidance and support every step of the way.
Taking the first step towards seeking help requires courage, and I commend you for reaching out. In my practice, you'll find a warm, collaborative, and compassionate environment where healing is nurtured and encouraged. You don't have to face your challenges alone – together, we can embark on a journey towards inner peace and fulfillment.
