I approach therapy with a compassionate and trauma informed lens, viewing clients as more than what has happened to them. I seek to empower clients to recognize that through conscious awareness, acceptance, and compassion, everything they need is already within. I provide a non-shaming space and guide clients to reconnect with their inner selves, helping them understand their internal world, and access their own healing capabilities.

You’re stuck in relationships that leave you feeling unappreciated and drained. You grew up in dysfunction or had a chaotic childhood. You’re struggling to set boundaries with the people around you. You were diagnosed with ADHD later in life, now what? You’re ready to make a change and then you see my page. I use an insight-oriented approach, which helps clients understand how past experiences can affect their current behavior. However, therapy is not "one size fits all" and we will pull from different treatment modalities to meet your individual needs.

Have you ever felt alone on your path towards healing? Are you struggling to understand how set healthy boundaries, focus, and find self-worth?
