About

I work with folks that feel a constant sense of letting themselves and others down. You’re not broken, it’s not a character flaw. You have your reasons for being. People respond to trauma, both past and current, in numerous ways: self-hatred, people-pleasing, self-sabotaging, avoiding, outbursts of anger, shutting down, feeling detached... to name a few. If any of this feels like you, I can assume it’s been absolutely draining. Therapy is an investment that provides insight into how to get out of the muck. You are the expert in your life, I want to be the one to collaboratively get you there.
My niche is trauma and grief; along with the depression and anxiety that often follows it. I’ve helped hundreds of clients in various settings regain control in their lives and craft a life worth living. My therapeutic approach adapts to what works best for you, never a one-size-fits-all. This is specialized therapy, and you deserve the specialized care.
You can heal without ever having to tell me the details of what happened to you. Or, if you need that release, that's okay too. I provide real-life tools you can use, quietly and effectively, in moments you need them most. You had to learn ways to adapt to your traumas. Now, it's time to unlearn what keeps you stuck there mentally and emotionally.
