How I Can Help
Healing from Trauma
If you’re grappling with the weight of trauma or PTSD, EMDR therapy can be a light in the darkness. This approach helps untangle those distressing memories, allowing you to reclaim your present. I believe everyone deserves to experience freedom from what holds them back, and this process has been transformative for many. Together, we’ll take steps toward healing and navigating life with more ease.
Managing Anxiety and Stress
Anxiety can be a heavy burden. It creeps in during the quiet moments or bubbles up unexpectedly. I offer support tailored to your unique experience, helping you learn to manage stress and find balance. It’s about creating space to breathe, to feel grounded amidst life’s chaos. With the right tools, we’ll work together to help you regain control, so you can step out into the world with confidence.
Body Image and Eating Disorders
Living in a world that often bombards us with unrealistic ideals can be tough. If you’re struggling with body image or an eating disorder, know that you’re not alone. Here, we can explore those feelings together, dismantling the negative beliefs that weigh you down. I’ll support you in fostering a healthier relationship with food and your body, aiming for kindness and self-acceptance.
Navigating Life Transitions
Life’s transitions—whether it’s a new job, a breakup, or simply growing older—can feel overwhelming. It’s okay to seek guidance during these times. I’m here to help you navigate through changes, offering a listening ear and practical strategies to make the journey smoother. We’ll work together to gain clarity and find your footing as you step into the next chapter.

It’s not all perfect, of course. We’ve got our challenges; life can be hard, and sometimes it feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. But that’s where the beauty of this community shines. We lift each other up, and I’d love to be part of your journey.
