Your past shaped you.
It does not have to
define you.

A grounded, compassionate approach to healing 

Finding the right therapist is about more than credentials. You need someone who listens carefully, respects your experiences, and helps you make meaningful changes at a pace that feels manageable.

​

I provide trauma-informed counseling for adults working through childhood trauma, anxiety, family dysfunction, relationship patterns, depression, and substance use recovery. My approach combines compassion, honesty, practical guidance, mindfulness, and EMDR when appropriate.
 

Therapy that helps you understand the past without staying trapped

in it.

Many of the patterns that create difficulties in adulthood began as ways of coping, surviving, or maintaining connection earlier in life. Therapy can help you understand those patterns, reduce the emotional weight of past experiences, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

I work collaboratively with each client. I will not judge, pressure, or tell you how you should feel. I will also be honest and help you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
 

Our work may include:

• Trauma recovery and EMDR

• Childhood trauma and family dysfunction

• Anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm

• Addiction and alcohol recovery

• Boundaries and relationship patterns

• Self-compassion, confidence, and personal growth

 

Professional training supported by lived experience

In addition to my clinical training, I bring more than 30 years of personal recovery experience to my work. This has given me a deep respect for the courage it takes to change long-standing patterns, rebuild trust in yourself, and create a life that is not controlled by the past.

You do not need to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. You only need a willingness to start.

What you can expect
Clients often describe my style as warm, direct, practical, and nonjudgmental. Sessions are structured enough to provide direction while remaining flexible enough to focus on what you need that day.

My goal is to provide a space where you can feel understood while also developing tools that create lasting change outside of therapy.

You deserve support that respects your story and your goals
Healing does not require forgetting what happened or pretending it did not affect you. It means developing greater freedom, choice, and confidence in how you move forward.
