I work well with people who feel they need help becoming clear about what they personally think, feel, and believe. Often, this manifests as depression, anxiety, or addictive patterns, all of which stand in the way of a person experiencing their own potential, and maintaining fulfilling relationships. The therapy I offer is helpful for those interested in gaining clearer perspectives on their own underlying patterns that contribute to recurring emotional and relational pain. And from there, collaborating to create practical ways forward towards transformation.

When trauma or stressors occur in life, we often become split off, or dissociated from the core self.

My goal is to walk alongside my clients as they process their trauma and embark on a journey towards rediscovering their true selves. Together, we work towards creating sustainable strategies for recovery and growth, fostering a renewed sense of purpose.
