I specialize in supporting adults who have been experiencing long-term effects of trauma or other mental health concerns. As your therapist, I aim to provide compassionate, individualized therapy that centers who you are at your core. My goal is to help you process the past, reconnect with your values, and build a future that feels whole and purposeful.When you've built your life around figuring out how to survive, making changes and allowing yourself to be vulnerable can be really scary and isolating. My goal as your therapist is to help that process feel possible - to give you the tools you need - and to support you along the way. Reach out to talk more about how therapy could help you reach your goals
