Great to meet you!

Are you feeling trapped in a cycle of depression, anxiety, trauma, and self-doubt? Do you find yourself on autopilot, yearning to achieve and maintain positive changes in your life intentionally? Perhaps you're constantly replaying painful memories or feeling overwhelmed by fears and worries about the future. If you're ready to confront the effects of trauma, let go of draining relationships, and learn practical skills to strengthen your connections with others, I am here to help.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach integrates talk therapy and evidence-based interventions like CBT, DBT, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Mindfulness. I support you in learning how to break self-defeating patterns, enabling you to prioritize your needs while fostering stronger relationships without neglecting yourself.

What you can expect from me

Together, we'll tackle people-pleasing habits, boost confidence, and enhance relationships while prioritizing your needs. Learn stress management, set guilt-free boundaries, and explore burnout-proof strategies for balanced relationships. Our sessions will focus on embracing your strengths, and empowering you to live fearlessly.
