I help humans live better lives. Life is about overcoming adversity and becoming stronger for it. Over the past 14 years I have helped 100s of people overcome life's adversity. For some clients it is through healing, for some it is gaining deeper insight and awareness to their stories. For others it is about learning new skills and strategies. Healing, strength, resilience, and a deeper understanding of who you are. Are you ready to get started?

EMDR and IFS are the gold-standards in overcoming complex trauma. DBT teaches you how to better manage and regulate your emotions. While CBT addresses thought patterns. The combination of these modalities have proven very successful for my clients.

Life's challenges & traumas do not need to define you; they are a part of you but not the full story. Stop letting these experiences take some much space in your life. If you're ready to take the first step towards overcoming your challenges, please reach out to schedule an appointment.
