You may feel stuck in patterns you’ve tried to change again and again—reacting in ways that don’t match who you want to be, feeling trapped in cycles of anxiety, depression, substance use, or emotional overwhelm. Maybe your past still feels present, shaping your relationships, your mood, or your sense of self. If you’re parenting a child with defiance or intense emotions, you may feel exhausted, confused, or unsure how to help while also trying to hold yourself together. I work with adults, children, and families navigating trauma, mood and personality disorders, anxiety, depression, substance use, and the lasting effects of childhood experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and practical, focused on helping you understand why these patterns developed and how to gently build new ones. Together, we work on emotional regulation, breaking trauma loops, strengthening coping skills, and creating meaningful, sustainable change—at a pace that feels safe and collaborative. Healing doesn’t mean “fixing” yourself; it means learning to respond to your inner world with understanding and care. You don’t have to do this alone. If you’re ready to explore new ways of coping, reconnect with your values, or support your child while also caring for yourself, I invite you to reach out today to schedule an appointment. I look forward to working with you!
