Anxiety and worry have become overwhelming, while depression drains the energy and joy from your days. It feels like you’re caught in a relentless storm where every attempt to escape just pulls you deeper. “Is this really all there is?” It’s exhausting trying to keep up appearances, especially when no one seems to understand your struggle. Relationships suffer, and emotions become uncontrollable—anger and tears take over, sleep is restless, and negativity feels relentless and all-consuming. Nothing you’ve tried has helped and nothing is working out. It’s frightening, leaving you feeling helpless and alone.

Most of my clients are young children and families. Many of the families I see struggle with trauma. Most of the children and parents have struggled with behavioral challenges such as attachment issues, anxiety, self injuries, aggression, impulsivity, sleeping and mood disturbances. Many are suffering with grief such as the death of someone they loved, or divorce or even separation from a caregiver. Often, parents are unsure of how to address these issues with their children. All of my clients seek support and empowerment in order to be healthy and productive as individuals, as parents and as families.

My approach to the therapeutic process involves the whole person; their physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being. I work with individuals of all ages, and operate from a trauma-informed point of view. Having been trained in EMDR, I offer that modality along with others to clients who are dealing with the negative effects of trauma, whether that was a single-event or a prolonged complex trauma. I also love working with TCKs (third culture kids). Having lived internationally for many years, I appreciate and respect diverse cultures and backgrounds. Reach out, I’d love to discuss your case during a free 15-minute consult.

I'm here with you to do the work. Many of us struggle with boundaries, low self-esteem, and decision making. Usually we know what we want, but we've been conditioned to believe we are undeserving.

Are the ups and downs of life becoming unmanageable? Anxiety, OCD, depression, and other challenges can exacerbate the typical ebbs and flows of life to what feels like a breaking point.
