I provide unyielding support throughout your mental health journey.
Life is full of the pleasant and unpleasant and sometimes it can be difficult to navigate and understand our chaotic world while also maintaining perspective and balance. In such times, everyone can use support and care. If you feel lost, anxious, depressed or confused, therapy can help you understand your emotions and how to manage them. Using trauma-informed practices that draw from therapies including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Family Systems Therapy and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), I would like to help you learn tools to create a rich life filled with clarity and a sense of wholeness.
