A clouded, anxious mind, a broken heart, a body that won’t quiet down. You have tried things and made progress, but you are still waiting for life to feel brighter and lighter. Maybe you are a young person under so much pressure, uncertain about the future, or you are someone who has endured so many hard things. Maybe you are just tired of feeling so much, or not feeling anything at all. You are wondering if a new path is possible. It is.

You don't have to navigate this alone. I specialize in helping individuals who have experienced domestic violence rebuild trust, regain autonomy, and rediscover their voice. Whether you're processing past trauma or untangling present dynamics, I provide a warm, empowering space where healing becomes possible.
In addition to trauma-focused work, I’m passionate about supporting college students and emerging adults who feel stuck, anxious, or uncertain about who they are becoming. College is a time of profound change—and often, confusion.
