Mel Robbins once voiced, “Start late. Start over. Start scared. Start again. Just start.” Taking that
first step can be intimidating. Whether the path has been walked before or you are creating a
new way, it is my hope that I can assist you as you embark on this journey.
I offer a strong dedication and a heart for helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, grief,
and the deep impacts of childhood and generational trauma. I have a passion and interest in
working with children, teens, and young adults. It is my goal to provide a safe, compassionate
space where you're fully seen and heard. No matter where you’re starting from, you are
welcome here.
My approach is rooted in Person-Centered Therapy, and I often pull from Family Constellations
and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to support clients in understanding their story and
building new, healthier patterns.
