I help individuals facing challenges in managing painful emotions, trauma, depression, anxiety, and the complexities of pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. Navigating emotional highs and lows can be overwhelming, particularly when shaped by trauma. Managing emotions like anxiety, sadness, shame, and anger may impact relationships, fostering feelings of inadequacy and isolation. I offer a compassionate space for people to explore and better understand their connection with themselves and others.

I use a person-centered approach in counseling to build a foundation of trust and openness. When anxiety, depression, stress, relationships and life responsibilities feel overwhelming you may sometimes feel like you have lost yourself. Taking the step to engage in therapy can help you process thoughts and emotions in a nonjudgmental and affirming environment so that you begin to gain a sense of life balance. With a combination of counseling approaches, I'll help you talk about and explore important issues in your life through a compassionate and affirming lens so that you can begin to feel more like yourself again.
