Great to meet you!

Hello! I bring over 18 years of experience specializing in complex trauma and PTSD, childhood abuse, addiction, and co-occurring disorders along with codependency, narcissistic abuse, and family/individual relational/ attachment issues. If you're having difficulty discovering your purpose, feeling out of place, dealing with internal conflicts that disrupt your sleep, or experiencing feelings of being stuck, overwhelmed, or alone, this could be a helpful starting point for your journey of self-healing. You don't have to do this alone, and you shouldn't have to.

My approach to therapy

My style is warm, collaborative, compassionate, and supportive. I have a relational and client-centered approach. I invite you to begin or continue your therapeutic journey where you can create relief, feel deeply supported, express yourself, feel empowered, gain insights, work through challenges, heal what needs to be healed, and reach your goals.

What you can expect from me

Together, we will work towards healing and personal growth, empowering you to overcome life's challenges, improve communication, reduce internal pain and conflict, and increase coping skills. In this healing space, we can address your anxiety, depression, fears, anger, grief, and underlying trauma in a safe, caring, and non-judgmental environment, meeting you where you are in your journey. Let's work together to find a solution that works best for you.
