Areas of Practice

  

In my practice, I offer a range of therapeutic services that are tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. These services are grounded in a trauma-informed approach, ensuring that every session respects your experiences and pace. Whether you're dealing with the effects of past experiences, seeking to build a stronger sense of self, or navigating life changes, I’m here to support you through it.


Anxiety & Stress Management
Anxiety often shows up as overthinking, restlessness, or a constant sense of dread. Together, we will uncover what your anxiety is trying to protect you from, while building tools to calm your nervous system and re-establish internal safety. You don’t have to live in survival mode.


Attachment & Relational Healing
If you’ve ever struggled with trust, felt unsafe in closeness, or experienced “push-pull” dynamics in relationships, this work can help. We’ll explore the roots of these patterns, understand how attachment styles influence your relationships, and support you in building healthier, more secure connections.


Complex Trauma & Developmental Challenges
We will explore how chronic stress, neglect, or early adversity may still be shaping your present life. The therapeutic process will focus on building a foundation of safety before delving into deeper emotional work. Healing isn’t a quick fix; it’s a journey. Together, we’ll explore tools for regulation, resilience, and restoring a sense of safety in your life.


Depression
Depression can feel like a constant weight, leaving you emotionally exhausted and stuck in a cycle of sadness. Together, we will explore the root causes of your depression, understand how it affects your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and work on creating new coping strategies to help you reconnect with joy and hope.


Emotion Regulation & Nervous System Healing
Our nervous system often holds the emotional scars of past experiences, which can lead to feeling overwhelmed or shut down. I will help you understand your nervous system’s responses and teach you tools to regulate, calm, and reconnect, starting from a place of self-awareness and care.


Building Self-Worth & Identity
Our sense of self is shaped by our experiences and the narratives we carry with us. Together, we’ll explore the internalized messages that may have been shaped by past challenges, and work on rebuilding a strong, empowered identity grounded in your authentic self.


Grief, Loss, & Life Transitions
Whether you are processing the loss of a loved one, navigating a relationship change, or adapting to a major life transition, I provide compassionate support in exploring and honoring your grief while helping you find new pathways for growth and healing.


Boundaries & Assertiveness
Setting boundaries can be challenging, especially when early experiences taught you that your needs weren’t valued. In this work, we will explore how to define and hold healthy boundaries, helping you reclaim your voice and stand firmly in your needs.
