Are you ready to finally be free of your past? Does it seem like every time you try to move forward in life, your anxiety, depression, or PTSD hold you back? Perhaps you feel you can’t break away from unhealthy situations or relationships. Many of my clients are dealing with past abuse or other trauma, addiction issues, or fear and shame that overwhelm them. At some point, it becomes unbearable. I work with people who are determined to be free of symptoms and move forward. You may not be able to erase the past, but with the right support, willingness, and effective therapy, you can take control of your life again.

I have a passion for finding humor even in tough situations, and laughter is a key part of my life. What I cherish most in my work is witnessing those "aha" moments where individuals gain clarity and grow towards their goals. Helping people recognize their potential and self-worth has been my focus for over twenty years as I support them through mental health and life challenges. For me, it's crucial to keep learning and growing alongside them. I believe therapy serves different purposes for each person, but the core element is having a safe space to be authentically oneself in all their messy, wonderful glory.
