Relationships and early life experiences can have a lasting impact on how we see ourselves and connect with others. I work with adults and seniors navigating relationship issues, trauma, PTSD, and family challenges. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they don't fully understand, struggling with painful experiences, or finding that old wounds continue to affect their present lives. Whether you're navigating relationship difficulties, processing trauma, or trying to better understand yourself and your experiences, therapy can provide a space for healing and meaningful change. My goal is to help you make sense of your story, strengthen your connections, and move toward a greater sense of peace and understanding.
