I work best with clients who have a deep desire to be seen, heard, and known. I want to know your heart, your fears, your shame, and your pain. I want to know how past hurts and trauma affect your everyday life today.
I offer a warm, empathic, and non-judgemental therapeutic environment for you to safely process hard life experiences and work towards healing. I provide corrective emotional experiences that help you to confront fear, loneliness, hopelessness, and shame. I compassionately walk alongside you to find the light in dark places.
If you wish to process experiences of loss, relational wounds, family conflict, trauma, chronic anxiety, or difficult personal transitions, I am happy to offer a healing presence to you.
