Life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect—stress builds, and major transitions can leave us feeling unsteady. I offer a holistic, integrative approach to healing that recognizes emotional wellbeing as deeply connected to whole‑body health. My work is grounded in clinical experience by an extensive background in corporate settings, medical environments, and substance use treatment. I integrate CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and trauma informed care with a holistic lens that considers the mind-body connection, lifestyle patterns, and the ways stress shows up physically and emotionally.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, familial and experience‑based trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a grounded, supportive therapeutic space where you can cultivate long‑term resilience, deepen self‑understanding, and experience meaningful emotional growth.
My style is warm, down to earth, and grounded in empathy, In our sessions, we’ll slow things down, get curious about what’s really going on beneath the surface, and empower you to a better life. I offer useful tools and clear guidance so that insight and growth continue outside the therapy room.
