Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck in past struggles, or uncertain about how to navigate life’s challenges? Life's difficulties aren't always predictable, and it’s easy to feel like you're juggling everything while barely making time for yourself. If you're ready to step out of the cycle and into a place of healing, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll work to reclaim balance and create a path toward a happier, more emotionally stable life.
I specialize in guiding individuals through anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and severe mental illnesses. Using evidence-based treatments like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing, I provide tools to address symptoms, process emotions, and build a fulfilling life.
You are the expert in your life, and together, we’ll navigate transitions, challenges, and your personal goals at a pace that feels right for you. My role is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts, identify patterns, and work toward meaningful change. Let’s collaborate on your journey to healing and growth.
