I have experience supporting people through a number of challenges including anxiety, panic attacks, chronic illness, phobias, OCD, insomnia, depression, grief, life transitions, trauma, substance use, personal growth, and navigating relationships.
Sometimes it feels like we're moving through life on auto-pilot. With work and other stressors, it is hard to find time to slow down, to breathe, to focus on the present.

To facilitate this, I help clients openly face life’s challenges and create lasting changes. I offer a collaborative, non-judgmental, and safe space for my clients to facilitate behavior change and self-exploration.

I specialize in working with Complex Trauma, Dissociative Disorders (DP/DR, OSDD, & DID), Chronic Illness, and Eating Disorders.

Through this process, we foster greater empathy for ourselves and others, enhance our capacity for meaningful change, and more effectively navigate life’s challenges.
