Great to meet you!

By the time people reach out to me, they often feel overwhelmed, stuck, and unable to move forward. Do you struggle with anxiety and fear, constantly on edge, and unable to relax? Do you feel isolated and alone in your experience? Are your relationships suffering, leaving you feeling guilty and ashamed? Many people facing these symptoms of trauma feel hopeless, saying, "I feel like I'm losing myself and need help finding my way back. I'm afraid to talk about it, but I know I need to."

A bit about my approach to therapy

I will be your guide, virtually holding your hand throughout your healing journey. Together, we will:

  • Improve your understanding of trauma and its impact on your thoughts and feelings.
  • Reduce avoidance behaviors and difficulties in experiencing positive emotions.
  • Alleviate distress related to traumatic memories.
  • Decrease feelings of anxiety, anger, guilt, and shame.
  • Enhance your day-to-day living, and improve your relationship with yourself and others.

What you can expect from our first session

Therapy with me begins by creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood. We will delve into your experiences, thoughts, and feelings, examining how trauma has impacted your life. Through this process, we'll work to enhance your understanding of trauma and its effects, empowering you to take control of your healing journey.
