Talking with a therapist in a safe, open, and respectful environment can help you to obtain a better understanding about the issues in your life that may be causing you to feel anxious, depressed, or hopeless.

Complex trauma isn’t a diagnosis, but rather a concept that describes how chronic upsetting, dangerous, and humiliating experiences impact people during childhood. Whatever happened to you matters! Your life experiences will never be trivialized in the therapy space that we create together. "Trauma necessitates survival strategies, but what we need to survive in any given moment may not be the same things that we ultimately need to heal". (T. Zimmerman)

Therapy is the process of change which is hard and difficult for most. I would like to accompany you on making the changes you would like to see in the important relationships in your life including yourself, family, and partner.

I believe therapy should be tailored to what each individual client needs and should be a collaborative process in which clients find their ability to empower themselves and find ways to make positive changes in their life. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, judgement free place where my clients can explore their lives and experiences to better understand themselves and their goals. I believe in applying a direct, integrative, and inclusive approach helping my clients identify their goals so I can support them on their journey to achieving them.
