Accepting New Clients

Welcome! I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve emotional wellness. My areas of specialization encompass the nuanced treatment of complex and developmental trauma, with a particular focus on dissociate disorders and addiction. My approach is compassionate and tailored to meet the unique needs of each person.

I firmly believe that in the innate capacity within everyone for healing and transformation. Therapy serves as a conduit, guiding individuals towards unlocking their own potential for grown and wellness. My approach is grounded in deep respect for each person's journey, and I highly value the therapeutic use of laughter and play. These elements foster a nurturing environment where healing can flourish organically.
