Therapy That Fits Who You Are

With over a decade of experience, I support people dealing with:

  • Ongoing anxiety or panic

  • Depression and emotional numbness

  • Difficult life transitions

  • Grief and unresolved loss

  • Trauma and past abuse

  • Codependency and self-worth issues

  • Phobias and fears that limit your life

I use approaches backed by research—like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed care—so we can work together in a way that’s effective, supportive, and personalized.

How Therapy Can Help

Stress, loss, relationship problems, or trauma can impact your energy, sleep, self-esteem, and even your physical health. You might feel stuck in survival mode—or just plain exhausted.

Therapy offers a calm, judgment-free space to talk things through, reconnect with yourself, and build tools that help you manage what’s hard. Whether you’re hoping to feel more grounded day-to-day or move forward after a tough season, therapy can help you get there.

This work is for:

  • Adults dealing with stress, anxiety, or burnout

  • People healing from loss or trauma

  • Couples who want to feel closer and communicate better

  • Anyone ready to take the next step toward emotional well-being
