I work with people who are ready to heal. My clients are often high-functioning on the outside but quietly struggling inside, overwhelmed, self-critical, or unsure of how to move forward. Do you feel like something’s always holding you back, like you're anxious, stuck, or down for no clear reason? It might be unresolved trauma showing up as depression, anxiety, or low self-worth. You’re not broken—and you’re not alone. Maybe therapy hasn’t helped much in the past, or maybe you’ve just reached a point where you’re done "just coping" and want to actually feel better.
Using trauma-informed approaches like inner child work, reparenting, and self-compassion, I help you process the root of your pain, not just manage the symptoms. This kind of work builds deep emotional regulation, lasting confidence, and a strong sense of inner calm. You’ll come to trust yourself more, and know what to do when life gets hard.
I offer a FREE 15 minute phone consultation prior to a first appointment to make sure we are a good fit. It's so important you find the right person for you!
I also offer a free first trial session: if you don't want to keep working with me, you pay nothing! If you do think we are a good fit, you'll pay for the session and we can keep going from there!
