My Approach to Helping

You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected- struggling with patterns in your life or relationships that seem impossible to break. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, major life transitions, or everyday challenges, you don’t have to go through them alone. I’m here to help.

I believe healing happens through connection, understanding, and intentional change. In our work together, we’ll explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be holding you back. My approach is collaborative and active—I don’t just listen; I help you make sense of your struggles and develop new ways of responding to them. We’ll focus on strengthening your emotional resilience, improving communication and intimacy in your relationships, and breaking free from reactive or self-defeating cycles. I integrate different therapeutic techniques to support your growth, always working from a strength-based perspective that empowers you to move forward with confidence.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I tailor our sessions to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based techniques that promote lasting change. I specialize in working with individuals and couples facing relationship struggles, family dynamic issues, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, trauma, chronic illness, and intimacy-related concerns. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I also integrate trauma-informed care for those healing from past wounds.

Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to support you in creating a more fulfilling, connected, and authentic life.
