Learn MoreWhether you are struggling with relationship issues, trauma, life transitions, or not feeling like yourself, I'm here to help. We will work together to help you develop healthy coping skills, grow through challenges, and build emotional resilience. I specialize in providing therapy for:
Relationship challenges can present not only with intimate partners, but also with friends and family members. Through the lens of attachment theory we can explore, understand, and change unhealthy relationship patterns and develop and nurture healthy connections.
In a safe environment, I will help you recover from past and present traumas. This therapy will include grounding techniques, managing triggers, processing emotions that have been avoided, and challenging unhelpful beliefs. We will work together to help you process the trauma and move on with greater resiliency and emotional strength.
We will develop tools to help you manage your distress and understand the deeper triggers that fuel your fears. You will gain skills to manage anxious thoughts, reclaim balance, and restore a sense of calm in your daily life. Over time, you will feel more grounded, centered, and capable of navigating the world.
I will help you regain hope and purpose by reconnecting with your core values and ideal self. By challenging negative thoughts and confronting difficult emotions, we will work towards restoring joy, hope, and meaning in your life.
"Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength."
In seeking help, you are taking a courageous and important step toward healing which I deeply respect.
