You are worthy and deserving of inner peace and joy. Sometimes we just need guidance and support as we go on our journey to find it. I bring 16 years of experience walking alongside clients that have endured hardships such as trauma, narcissistic and abusive relationships, the aftermath of a difficult childhood and mental health concerns. I offer clients compassionate, evidence-based and specialized care based on their unique needs as they sort through the past, develop an understanding of present difficulties and lay the groundwork for a life fulfilling future.
I provide a compassionate, down-to-earth, accepting and personable space for clients to gain insight into how their experiences and struggles interfere with daily life. I offer evidence-based treatments, such as EMDR and DBT, to assist clients with processing and healing from trauma and impactful issues at their own pace and readiness.
It takes bravery and strength to be vulnerable. It takes courage to rise up from trauma, abusive and narcissistic relationships, mental health diagnoses and unhealthy patterns. I invite you to reach out to me to discuss how we can collaborate on your journey toward living the life you are worthy of.
