Most of the work I do is with people struggling with the impact of trauma, including destructive behaviors and conflicted relationships.

I am committed to helping my clients identify the sources of their pain, learn to tolerate those emotions, and develop new ways to cope and to live.

Are you an individual who is having difficulty managing day-to-day stressors? Are you feeling depressed, anxious, constantly criticizing yourself and not so sure on how to tell that inner critic in your head to take a step back?

I have helped and guided many people who have made that first step into taking control of their life.
