About…

Sometimes the relationships that are supposed to feel safest are the ones that leave you feeling confused, hurt, or exhausted. You may have a family member or loved one who struggles with addiction, mental health challenges, or unhealthy patterns, and find yourself constantly worrying, over giving, or losing sight of your own needs. You may be carrying the impact of growing up in a family where your feelings were dismissed, boundaries were unclear, or you learned to take care of everyone else first. You might feel these experiences impacting your current relationships and coping skills and are ready for a change.

I support adults who want to heal from these experiences, understand how the past is still showing up in their relationships, and learn how to create healthier boundaries without losing their compassion. Together, we focus on helping you feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life so your relationships — including the one with yourself — can feel safer, more balanced, and more fulfilling.

As a therapist I provide practical, goal focused therapy. I practice with individuals, couples, and adult families who need support. I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to support those to move through traumas, phobias and patterns that are holding you back in life. In my practice I offer in person and virtual sessions, so therapy can fit into your life seamlessly, If you are ready to start showing up differently, book a complimentary consultation through my website.
