Life can throw us curveballs, and it’s normal to feel anxious, down, or overwhelmed in response. But if it feels like more than a passing season, there might be something deeper beneath the surface. One of my passions is helping people move beyond just “getting by” to actually uncovering and healing the root causes of what’s weighing them down.

I’ve been in this field for over 20 years, working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Over time, I’ve realized that so many of these challenges trace back to unaddressed wounds. Trauma is everywhere — not just the big, obvious stuff but the quieter, hidden experiences that change the way we see ourselves and the world.

Whether your trauma is something that feels monumental or it’s an offhand comment from years ago that you just can’t shake, it matters. These experiences shape how we interact with others, how we navigate life’s challenges, and even how we understand ourselves. But here’s the good news: healing is possible.

In our sessions, we’ll dive into the hard stuff but also leave space for hope and humor. I’m not about surface-level fixes. Together, we’ll tackle what’s underneath so you can start living with more freedom and authenticity.

For those seeking guidance beyond therapy, I also offer coaching services designed to help you take charge of your life. Coaching is all about identifying where you want to go and creating a plan to get there. Whether it’s advancing in your career, finding clarity during a transition, or achieving personal goals, we’ll work as a team to help you thrive.

So, if you’re ready to start this journey, let’s chat. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation, and we’ll see if we’re a good fit. And if I’m not, I’ll help you find someone who is — because your well-being is what matters most. Healing isn’t just possible — it’s waiting for you. Let’s take that first step together.
