I provide compassionate, strengths-based therapy to support individuals navigating life’s most difficult seasons, including trauma, major life transitions, and grief. My approach centers on helping clients feel seen, supported, and empowered as they work through emotional challenges and move toward healing and resilience. I specialize in grief and loss, adjustment to terminal illness, and anxiety. Using process-oriented and compassion-focused counseling techniques, I help clients explore their experiences at a deeper level while developing practical tools for emotional balance and self-understanding.
I feel privileged and passionate about the opportunity to meet with people within life‘s pain and struggle. I love working with clients in the area of anxiety, depression, grief and loss, postpartum depression, terminal illness, life transitions and trauma.
I have a client centered counseling approach helping people to heal from the inside by exploring spiritual peace and finding a grounding and centered life. I am specially trained in Brain Spotting therapy which helps people access, process and overcome trauma, negative emotions and pain. I believe together we can unload that heavy backpack of life.

I work with clients struggling with trauma, anxiety and life transitions related to relationships, family or illness. We will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
