Life brings challenges that can overwhelm our ability to cope. You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, unresolved trauma, or turning to coping strategies that offer temporary relief but ultimately create more distress—like gambling, overspending, substance use, or emotional withdrawal. Transitions such as relationship struggles, career changes, or the natural process of aging can also bring emotional strain and disrupt your sense of balance.
I use mindfulness-based approaches and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help identify and release emotions, beliefs, and parts of self holding pain or trauma. These support healing and inner resilience. I also integrate DBT techniques to build on your strengths and empower you to define success and move toward meaningful goals.
I work with individuals across the adult lifespan—from those navigating early adulthood to those facing aging-related transitions. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, offering a nurturing, non-judgmental space for healing—mind, body, and spirit.
If you're ready to take the next step, I’m here to support you.
