A life-altering event deeply influenced my decision to become a therapist in 2016. Following a serious accident, I experienced a profound personal transformation that required me to navigate trauma, loss, and healing. That journey not only reshaped my perspective but also ignited a passion for helping others move through their own difficult transitions. Today, I bring that lived experience into my practice, offering empathy, resilience, and a deep commitment to supporting individuals as they work through trauma and reclaim their strength.

I work best with clients experiencing PTSD and depression.

Therapy, mental health, and the healing process are deeply interconnected aspects of personal well-being. Each stage informs and supports the others, creating a dynamic and evolving journey toward greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and personal growth. Healing is not linear—it unfolds through reflection, insight, and intentional change. Therapy provides a structured space to explore these layers, helping individuals make sense of their experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and move forward with clarity and confidence

You can expect a welcoming, compassionate environment where your voice is heard and valued. I offer my full presence and active listening, creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Think of me as a steady support—like a seatbelt—helping you feel secure as we navigate the ups and downs of life together. During our second session, we’ll begin crafting a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals, setting the foundation for meaningful progress and lasting change

I have personally experienced the challenges of PTSD and depressive symptoms, and I understand firsthand how overwhelming and isolating they can feel. Through dedication, the consistent use of evidence-based coping strategies, and a commitment to personal growth—including practices like positive affirmations and emotional regulation—I was able to move through that difficult period and emerge stronger. This journey has deepened my empathy and reinforced my belief in the transformative power of healing, which I now bring into my work with clients facing similar struggles.

I approach therapy with the understanding that each individual brings a distinct set of experiences, values, and challenges. From our very first session, I prioritize building a strong therapeutic alliance rooted in trust, empathy, and active listening. I take time to understand your personal history, current concerns, and goals for therapy, which allows me to collaboratively develop a treatment plan that reflects your unique needs and preference.
