How I Can Help
-

Trauma
Past experiences don’t always stay in the past.
Trauma can shape how you feel, relate to others, and move through the world long after difficult experiences have passed. Therapy can help you understand these patterns while building a greater sense of safety, connection, and control.

Anxiety
When your mind rarely seems to turn off, everyday life can become exhausting.
Therapy can help you better understand what’s driving the worry while developing practical ways to manage overthinking, fear, uncertainty, and the pressure to always have things figured out.

Stress
Sometimes you’ve been carrying too much for too long.
When overwhelm starts to feel normal, therapy can help you recognize what’s draining you, strengthen boundaries, reconnect with your needs, and find healthier ways to navigate life’s demands.

Grief & Loss
Some losses change more than we expect.
Grief can follow the death of someone you love, but it can also emerge through relationships, health changes, shifting identities, missed possibilities, and major life transitions. Therapy offers space to make sense of what has changed without pressure to simply “move on.”
Everyone comes to therapy for different reasons. While I specialize in trauma, anxiety, stress, and grief, our work can extend beyond these concerns. Together, we can also explore relationships, life transitions, depression, self-esteem, boundaries, emotional regulation, or patterns from the past that may still be affecting you today.
