HERE TO HELP
I believe in putting my clients at the center of my practice and as a team, finding solutions. Using evidence-based interventions and multiple modality approaches, I have expertise in a wide variety of topics and issues, but I specialize in overcoming emotional trauma, successfully managing major life changes and transitions, and improving relationship communication, connection ,and stability.
I am here to help you create and discover effective and healthy coping skills and in tandem, build stronger self-esteem and personal fulfillment.
Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders can feel like an unmanageable weight- often impacting daily life in profound ways. It's important to know that while these feelings can feel overwhelming, there are effective solutions and strategies to manage and alleviate them. Together, we can work to understand your unique experiences and develop personalized tools to help you regain balance and improve your overall well-being.
Trauma
Trauma comes in many forms and every experience is valid. Whether you've faced a single event or ongoing challenges, I provide a compassionate space to process and heal.

Grief
Grief is a natural and personal journey that requires support in working through your emotions, while developing healthy coping mechanisms. My approach ensures that you receive the care and understanding needed to navigate these difficult emotions, fostering resilience and growth as you move forward.

Life Transitions
Major changes—such as starting a new job, moving to a different city, becoming a parent, or experiencing loss—can bring both excitement and stress. These transitions can impact how we see ourselves, our relationships, and our overall well-being. Therapy provides a space to navigate these shifts, offering support and strategies to manage the emotional toll they can take, while helping you adjust and grow through these significant moments in life.
Relationships
Relationships include, but can also extend beyond romantic connections. It's about how we communicate and interact with all the important people in our lives—family, friends, colleagues, and others. Healthy relationships are built on understanding, effective communication, and mutual respect, which are key to navigating challenges in any type of relationship. My aim is to work together to enhance these skills, fostering stronger, more meaningful connections with the people who matter most to you.
