Stuck. Frustrated. Tired of feeling weighed down by fear, self-doubt, or the pressures of life? You’re not alone. Maybe it is anxiety, depression, constant stress, ADHD or past trauma that is keeping you from living the life you truly deserve. You know you’re capable of more—more confidence, peace, control, and fulfillment. But something is in the way, and it’s time to clear that path. You’re ready to break free, tap into your strength, and make lasting change. It’s time to take control, move forward, and build the life you’ve always dreamed of.
I help people break through what's keeping them stuck—whether it’s trauma, anxiety, depression, self-doubt or ADHD. My approach combines powerful tools like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and solution-focused strategies to heal, build confidence, and create real, lasting change. Together, we’ll take practical steps to build the life you truly want.
Taking that first step can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it on your own. There’s support here to help you move forward and break through what’s been holding you back. If you’re ready to explore how we can work together, reach out for a free introductory call. You’ve got the strength to make real change, and I’d love to help you get there.

I use a mixture of solution-focused talk therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. We use ART therapy to voluntarily replace negative images and sensations and replace them (losing the pain, but keeping the facts of the situation). This helps heal trauma, anxiety, depression and other presenting problems. Healing IS possible and relief often comes as soon as 1-3 sessions!
