Most of the people I work with come in carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, depression, or grief, and often a tangled mix of all four. Some are processing combat, abuse, or neglect. Others are navigating major life transitions, perfectionism, relationship struggles, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, or the kind of low-grade dread that makes daily life feel heavier than it should. Many have tried to push through on their own and have realized that survival mode isn't the same as living. They come looking for a steady, judgment-free space to make sense of what they've been through and to find a way forward that is theirs.
I operate from a person-centered approach, meaning I believe my clients are the experts in their own lives. I provide collaborative, curious, warm, neurobiological and trauma-informed care. Together, we'll set realistic goals, implement psycho-education, establish awareness, and integrate evidence based practices to help you reach your goals.
Reaching out for support isn’t easy, and I deeply respect that you’ve taken this step. You set the pace; I bring training, presence, and a real investment in your growth.
