Struggling to find clarity? With compassion, I can help you work towards healing and growth. Specializing in anxiety, trauma, depression, and life transitions, I provide a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. I use evidence-based techniques and offer personalized support. Your mental wellness matters.
Together, we will tailor therapy to your needs, cultivating a judgment-free environment built on mutual trust. I use trauma-informed best practices along with gentle challenges and humor to help you process your thoughts and feelings, strengthen your resilience, and gain understanding and healing.
I have a certificate in maternal mental health through Postpartum Support International (PSI), and have undergone intensive specialized training in NICU parenting through the Institute for Creative Mindfulness. I am also an Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists (APSATS) trainee. Please reach out for a free consult.
