Starting therapy takes courage — especially when you're carrying something heavy and aren't sure where to begin. Maybe it's grief, trauma, anxiety, or a transition that's left you feeling unsteady. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to have it figured out before we start. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where your story is heard without criticism and your healing moves at your pace. There's no formula here — just a real partnership built around what you actually need.
I specialize in Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) and work with clients navigating trauma, loss, grief, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Every treatment plan is tailored to your specific goals — evidence-based tools, yes, but shaped entirely around your experience and what healing looks like for you.
Whether you're working through something specific or simply ready to feel better in your daily life, I'm here for both. You don't have to carry this alone — and you don't have to be in crisis to deserve support. Reach out today and let's take that first step together.
