Healing Through Understanding
Do you feel overwhelmed by life, frustrated in your relationships, or hurt by past experiences? Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, current stressors, or lingering effects of old wounds, you don’t have to do it alone.
We each have a unique LifeStory—one that shapes how we see ourselves and connect with others. Sometimes, painful chapters from the past show up in our present story, influencing how we react, relate, and feel. I am passionate about working with clients seeking healing, growth, and understanding—helping them find strength in their story and turn the page to a richer, more fulfilling future.
My work is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and grounded in attachment. I utilize Lifespan Integration, a gentle, body-based tool for attachment injury and trauma reprocessing. I also integrate Emotion-Focused Therapy to help individuals and couples understand their emotions and improve communication, fostering stronger, more meaningful relationships.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and relational—creating a space for honesty, transformation, and even moments of laughter along the way.
Wondering if I am the right counselor for you? Let’s connect for a free consultation—I’d love to hear your story and see if we’re a good fit.
