I spent much of my early life unsure of who I was, often feeling ashamed, anxious, and disconnected from myself and others. To cope, I leaned on patterns like codependency and people-pleasing, perfectionism, binge eating, and later, alcohol throughout my twenties. Over time, these habits left me feeling isolated, insecure, and broken. As I worked in a recovery setting in my late twenties, it became clear that I wasn’t exempt from the healing process—I needed to be as honest with myself as I was asking my clients to be, and reach out for the support I truly needed.
Grow beyond old patterns that no longer serve you…
As I connected more deeply with my own experiences through therapy and a recovery community, I realized that my addictions and coping patterns were ways of surviving a childhood where I often felt unseen and overburdened. Allowing myself to face that pain and grieve what I had lost gradually lifted those old burdens. In their place grew hope, compassion, and a deeper empathy for both myself and those around me, showing me that even the hardest struggles can lead to meaningful growth and connection.
Discovering my authentic self and clarifying my values helped me not only strengthen my own connection with who I am, but also guide others on their paths to healing. I’ve realized that what can feel like a breakdown is often the first step toward deep transformation. Being part of my clients’ journeys is a privilege, and it’s one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
Recognizing and naming your pain is a powerful act of self-compassion and the path toward real and lasting transformation.
Specializing in PTSD, complex trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions marked by grief and loss, I bring a grounded and compassionate lens to this work. These areas aren’t just part of my training—they’re deeply woven into my lived experience and the healing I’ve witnessed in others. The therapies I use are evidence-informed and purposefully selected to support long-term, integrative change. My goal is to offer a space where you can reclaim your voice, deepen self-understanding, and move forward with confidence in your own story.
