It's starting to feel like your day-to-day challenges are taking over your life, and you're looking for a way to make sense of the chaos. It's starting to feel like there's no end in sight. You're seeking some kind of relief from constant anxiety, a break from overwhelming thoughts, and a path to regain control. Your goal is to find balance, rediscover normalcy, and confidently move forward. You desire effective strategies tailored to your personal experience and a therapist who genuinely understands – someone committed to walking this journey with you, offering both understanding and practical, supportive steps.

In addressing PTSD, OCD, anxiety & depression, I use researched interventions that really work. These methods are designed to reduce your symptoms, offering real hope and change. I'm here to help you understand your experiences and discover the most effective treatment for you. We'll use strategies to give you relief & a more control over your life.

Reaching out for help can be daunting. You're not alone in this journey. Together, we can navigate these challenges. My commitment is to provide a space where you feel heard and understood, where real progress is possible. If you're ready to take that first step towards healing and growth, I'm here to walk with you.
