You are not defined by the trauma you have endured. Anxiety, depression, and trauma can make it seem as if your life will forever be stuck on a constant, negative loop. The feelings of despair and hopelessness may have become so familiar that you accept them as your "normal." This pain can make it incredibly difficult to have hope and truly believe that, even for us, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The relief you crave, the joy you see in others (but have nearly convinced yourself is impossible for you), and the peace of mind you desire IS in fact possible, but you should not expect yourself do it alone.
My passion lies in creating a trusting therapeutic relationship & a safe space for my clients to find power through their struggles & rediscover themselves. We will uncover what's been holding you back from whatever you desire, & together, rewrite those beliefs using EMDR, CBT, & other actionable techniques to guide you through your inner transformation.
In my work with individuals, couples, and teens, I specialize in attachment-based trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I want to invite you to take this wild and infinitely rewarding ride with me.
