Are you looking for a non-judgmental space to process difficult experiences and gain clarity about repeating themes and patterns in your life and relationships?
With an attachment and trauma-informed foundation in evidence-based practices, I work with you to identify the drivers behind behavior and triggers. I balance attentive listening with active participation and meaningful feedback.
In addition to working with depression, anxiety, and trauma, I'm also passionate about helping individuals navigate the specific challenges associated with recovering from narcissistic abuse, infidelity, setting boundaries, low self-worth, and rebuilding trust within relationships.​​
