Imagine Your Life:
with Nothing to Hide, Prove, or Lose.

Therapy to help you process the past and discover a new way forward

Maybe you can relate

You feel stuck in old patterns, unsure how to break free.

Memories from the past keep pulling you back, making it hard to live fully in the present. You want to trust yourself and others, but past experiences make it difficult. You're searching for a deeper understanding of yourself, what truly matters to you, and a way back to your good heart.

My specialties

Therapy for Trauma

Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and stuck in the past. In our work together, we’ll gently explore the impact of those experiences so you can reclaim a sense of safety, clarity, and direction in your life.

Addictive Behaviors

Whether it’s substances, work, porn or other compulsive patterns, these behaviors often start as well-meaning coping strategies. Together, we’ll look beneath the surface to understand what’s driving these behaviors—and chart a path toward freedom that no longer relies on things that are holding you back.

Life
Transitions

Change can bring up uncertainty, grief, and even excitement. I help clients navigate life’s turning points—whether chosen or unexpected—with curiosity, courage, and a deeper connection to who they’re becoming.

Burnout & Over-Achievers

You’re always going, always striving—and it’s exhausting. If you’re burned out but unsure how to slow down, therapy can help you explore what drives the pressure and discover a more sustainable, fulfilling way forward.
