Everyone experiences challenges at one point in their lives or can feel overwhelmed by an ongoing issue, and we all have our own lessons to learn. Seeking help and support is often the first steps towards feeling better and recovery; however, it can be hard to know how to start or where to turn to. It can be strangely intimate to be open about mental health struggles, but having even one person to talk to can be an enormous relief. I provide a safe, warm, and inclusive environment helping people overcome such challenges and work towards a resolution and personal growth.

Are you carrying the weight of unresolved trauma or navigating the deep scars of childhood experiences? Do attachment wounds, PTSD, or C-PTSD complicate your relationships, self-worth, or ability to feel safe in the world?

I follow a humanistic approach, with influence from a trauma focused lens as well as internal family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic experience, solution focused & attachment theory.
Life can be hard and finding a therapist who understands you can be challenging. You might feel as though no one gets it, resulting in a feeling of overwhelm, stress or numbness as the days pass. Eventually the experience may feel like a never-ending rollercoaster with more downs than ups. However, seeking therapy takes strength and courage, and each part of you is welcomed (even your most hurtful parts or the parts you might avoid). Sometimes help is needed to cope with life obstacles, manage interpersonal relationships, regulate your emotions, and heal from your traumatic experiences.
