My goal is to empower individuals to break free from emotional overwhelm, discover inner strength, and create lasting change. I work with those seeking clarity, connection, and resilience in the face of life’s challenges, whether it’s navigating anxiety, grief, childhood trauma, or personal growth to name a few. Together, we’ll unlock your potential to heal, thrive and reach your full potential.
Empathy in the therapeutic relationship is at the core of my approach, ensuring that each session feels warm, collaborative, and focused on your unique needs.
I’d love to support you on your journey to healing and growth. Feel free to email me to make an appointment. Once I receive the information you can expect a email with further steps. Let’s work together to create a brighter, healthier future—you deserve it!

I work with many clients who have been struggling with trauma that stems from their childhood. During the initial session we will get to know you and what brings you to therapy, what therapy with me will look like (I believe we work together as a team so I discuss that) and give you a chance to ask questions or just chat with me.
