I specialize in helping individuals navigating lifestyle changes, and transitions from adolescence to adulthood. My ideal clients face issues like trauma, anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress. I use evidence-based approaches, including CBT and EMDR, to empower them with practical skills and emotional resilience. My goal is to guide them towards self-assuredness, emotional balance, and effective stress management during this transformative phase. By changing the way we view life and stressors we are able to change how they affect us. Stress is inevitable, how you allow it to affect your day to day life is up to you.

You just want to feel better. Trauma has turned you into someone you don’t even recognize. You’re constantly on edge and can’t sleep. If sleep does come, it’s often restless and filled with nightmares. Your creativity, performance, and professionalism is suffering. You often feel tremendous guilt and shame; no one understands what it's like. Or maybe you stuff the hurt, pain, and disappointment down deep inside so no one sees it. You know how to put on a good, happy face for others. The emptiness and loneliness seem unbearable. Or maybe this describes your loved one who you can’t seem to reach no matter how hard you try.

Feeling anxious and overwhelmed may seem like your normal, but I assure you that you were not created to live that way. Peace and contentment is very possible given the right skills and support. Perhaps feeling stuck or trapped is where you have been lately and it is affecting other areas of your life where you are not living as your best self. Relationships can be hard especially if we have stressors weighing us down so we feel even more defeated. Feeling good about yourself and others is very possible as most people were not given the coping strategies needed and survival is where many people are at. You don't have to be.
