INTERVENTIONS:  I mix evidence-based interventions with a judgment-free zone, plenty of authenticity, and just the right amount of humor—because sometimes, laughter really is the best coping skill. Rooted in a humanistic approach, I prioritize building a genuine therapeutic alliance, which research shows is the most important factor in client outcome.

TREATING:  

Treating via Indivual Therapy:  Relationship Issues / Family Issues / Depression / Anxiety / Trauma / PTSD 

Anxiety / Racing Thoughts / Always “On Edge”

Depression / Low Energy / Chronic Sadness / Numbness

Relationship / Situationship Pain (feeling stuck in a relationship / marriage, toxic cycle, or “almost relationship” and it’s messing with my peace + identity)

Family Dynamics & Breaking Generational Patterns (I’m trying to heal cycles I grew up in so they don’t repeat with me)

Emotional Regulation (I get overwhelmed, shut down, or react fast — I want better coping tools instead of going straight into survival mode)

Breakup or Heartbreak Healing (going through a breakup, situationship, divorce or confusing relationship and I need support untangling my feelings and self-worth)

Trauma / Childhood Wounds (ready to process things I’ve pushed down or minimized for years)

Identity / Self-discovery / Self-Esteem (who am I / what do I want? / tired of feeling like I’m never enough)
