Supporting You in Taking Back Control of Your Life
I help people move out of survival mode and reconnect with what matters. My work focuses on anxiety, depression, trauma, and the patterns we turn to when life feels overwhelming.
When stress builds or pain goes unspoken, many people cope in ways that make sense in the moment. This might look like using substances to numb out, disconnecting from your emotions, or finding it hard to trust your thoughts or internal experience. These responses are not failures. They’re signs of how hard you’ve been trying to get through.
You may be feeling exhausted, stuck in old patterns, or carrying memories and emotions that don’t seem to go away. You deserve a space where you can be honest about what you’re feeling without judgment.
In therapy, we move at your pace. I offer a supportive, compassionate environment where we explore what’s been weighing on you and work toward relief, clarity, and self-connection. Clients describe therapy with me as grounding, gentle, and empowering.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, recovery, or a mix of these experiences, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
If this resonates, I invite you to reach out and begin your healing process. Let’s find a time to talk and start building the life you deserve.
