Healing from trauma is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone. If you're feeling weighed down by past events, struggling with PTSD, or trapped in unhealthy relationship patterns, you're not alone in this. My ideal client is someone who’s ready to break free from these cycles but might not know where to start. They want to reclaim their life, heal their wounds, and rediscover their strength. Whether you’re dealing with the lingering effects of trauma or feeling stuck in codependent patterns that keep you from living fully, you deserve a path to healing that honors who you are and where you’ve been.
As a trauma-focused therapist, I help you heal from trauma, PTSD, and codependency with compassion and empowerment. Together, we’ll break free from unhealthy patterns, restore your boundaries, and rebuild your confidence. My goal is to help you reclaim your life—not just manage symptoms—and move forward with hope and self-empowerment.
Trauma affects every part of your life, so healing requires a safe, holistic approach. I’ll help you process your experiences at your own pace, using trauma-focused therapies for lasting recovery. Together, we’ll address codependency, restore your independence, and build healthier relationships. Reach out today—let’s start your healing journey!
