I walk alongside clients as they heal historical and generational trauma, including childhood sexual abuse, domestic and familial violence, and substance‑related pain. With a gentle blend of CBT, client‑centered care, and solution‑focused strategies, I help people reclaim safety, rewrite limiting stories, and build steady, empowered steps toward lasting healing and hope.

I walk alongside clients as they heal historical and generational trauma, including childhood sexual abuse, domestic and familial violence, and substance‑related pain. With a gentle blend of CBT, client‑centered care, and solution‑focused strategies, I help people reclaim safety, rewrite limiting stories, and build steady, empowered steps toward lasting healing, deeper self‑trust, and a renewed sense of hope for their future.

I support clients facing depression, anxiety, and overwhelming stress with a calm, steady, and deeply compassionate presence. Through CBT, client‑centered care, and solution‑focused strategies, I help people understand their emotional patterns, ease self‑criticism, and reconnect with their strengths. Together, we build practical, nurturing steps that restore relief, resilience, confidence, and a renewed sense of hope.

I support women navigating identity challenges, relationship stress, self‑worth wounds, and the emotional weight of balancing multiple roles. With a steady, compassionate presence, I help women explore their stories, honor their resilience, and reconnect with their inner voice. Using CBT, client‑centered care, and solution‑focused strategies, we work together to ease anxiety, strengthen boundaries, and build empowered, sustainable steps toward clarity, confidence, and emotional wellbeing.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) allows me to help clients hold two truths at once: “I’m doing the best I can” and “I can grow in new ways.” Through skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, DBT gives people practical tools to navigate intense feelings, reduce impulsive reactions, and build healthier, more connected relationships with themselves and others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps me support clients in understanding how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors shape their daily experiences. By identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing healthier responses, CBT empowers people to challenge self‑defeating beliefs, reduce anxiety and stress, and build practical skills that strengthen confidence, emotional balance, and everyday functioning.

Mindfulness‑Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) helps me guide clients to slow down, breathe, and notice their thoughts without getting swept away by them. By grounding in the present moment, MBCT reduces rumination, supports emotional regulation, and empowers people to respond with intention rather than stress or habit—building steadiness, clarity, and self‑compassion.
