I help individuals and couples build fulfilling lives and healthier connections by addressing trauma, anxiety, and difficulties with others. So often, we shrink ourselves or our lives in an effort to avoid emotional pain; therapy can help expand your world again. Or you might be overwhelmed, keeping everything together on the surface while internally struggling; therapy can help you let go of shame, feel less alone, and find a more sustainable way. For couples, I offer a safe space to resolve conflict and improve intimacy and communication, whether you’re struggling with a specific issue or seeking to deepen your connection.
During our sessions, you’ll find a space where you can explore your experiences without fear of judgment. We will go beyond insight to develop practical tools to navigate your life more effectively, break free from patterns that are no longer serving you, enhance your emotional well-being, & get closer to living the life you want.
Therapy is an investment in yourself and your relationships. You don’t have to keep doing this alone. I’d love to connect with you. Contact me today to schedule a free 15-minute consultation and see if we’re the right fit. I offer sessions via secure video call, making therapy accessible & convenient for anyone living in a PSYPACT state.
