Significant life changes, stress, loss, and trauma can leave us feeling unmoored, overwhelmed and isolated. Maybe you feel like you’ve been knocked off your feet, or maybe you feel like there’s been a gradual erosion in your mental health. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship issues, losses like divorce or infertility, or any form of trauma, you might have found that you’re struggling to cope – despite your best efforts to push through the pain. Therapy can be a bold step toward healing and regaining a steady foothold. Life holds better things for you, and I’d like to help you find them.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, life changes, stress, relationship challenges, and loss. Sessions with me are rooted in collaboration, empathy, and safety, so clients can show up as their authentic selves. Vulnerability is honored here: when you give yourself permission to feel and speak freely, the path to healing appears.

I’ll meet you wherever you are on that path, even if you haven’t found it yet, and collaborate with you to identify the specific strategies, tools, and perspectives that are uniquely helpful for your journey. Call me today for a free 30-minute consultation, either in person or virtually. I look forward to connecting with you!
