Introduction

Hi there—welcome! I’m really glad you’re here. I know reaching out for help isn’t easy. It can feel scary or vulnerable to take that first step, especially when you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or just feeling stuck. If you’re feeling unsure about where to start, you’re not alone. My hope is to offer you a space that feels safe, welcoming, and judgment-free—a place where you can really talk about what’s on your mind and heart. I work with people facing all kinds of challenges, including sexual abuse trauma, anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, suicidal thoughts, and relationship issues. Life can feel incredibly heavy at times, whether it’s an ongoing struggle or something that’s turned your world upside down. I’m here to help you make sense of those challenges and find a way through them, step by step. My approach is compassionate and collaborative. I deeply respect your unique story and believe you have the strength to heal and grow. Together, we’ll figure out what you need and find tools that work for you so you can move forward feeling more grounded, hopeful, and empowered.
