About me
I help adults break free from survival mode, heal the wounds of childhood, and create calmer, more authentic lives through compassionate, trauma-informed therapy.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you've spent much of your life putting others' needs before your own or simply trying to make it through each day. If you've found yourself caught in patterns of anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or relationships that leave you feeling unseen, you're not alone. Healing is possible, and you don't have to navigate it by yourself.
I specialize in working with adults who grew up in chaotic, emotionally unpredictable, or invalidating environments. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment wounds, low self-worth, or difficulty setting healthy boundaries. Together, we'll explore how your past experiences have shaped your present while building practical tools to help you feel more grounded, connected, and confident in your daily life.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I integrate evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and person-centered counseling. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely heard, accepted, and empowered—not judged or pressured.
Whether you're looking to heal from childhood experiences, strengthen your relationships, manage overwhelming emotions, or reconnect with who you truly are, I'm here to support you. My goal is to help you move beyond surviving and begin creating a life that feels calmer, more meaningful, and aligned with your values.
If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
