Are you feeling stuck or unable to move forward? Do you find it challenging to cope with overwhelming emotions? These feelings can be isolating, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. By working together to release the emotional burdens we carry, we can uncover a path toward greater balance and meaning in your life. Achieving harmony within your body, mind, and emotions empowers you to make informed choices, gain insight into your emotional experiences, and foster meaningful connections with others. Let's embark on this journey together to create a fulfilling and authentic life.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and trauma-informed. I have experience working with teens, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds on topics such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, low self-esteem, relational conflict, trauma, and difficult life transitions. I've been extensively trained in Emotion Focused Therapy, DBT, and CBT.
My diverse background offers fresh perspectives on the challenges you’re facing. Whether your concerns feel overwhelming or minor, every struggle matters and deserves attention. Having someone by your side can provide clarity and understanding, guiding you toward desired healing. I’m here to support you as you navigate this journey— let’s explore together.
