Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Self Esteem, Existential Crisis, Trauma,

Introduction

Discovering purpose, finding meaning, and healing from the past can be truly life-changing. I specialize in complex stress and trauma (CPTSD) caused by emotional distress rooted in early life experiences. My other treatment specialties are treating low self-esteem, and recovering from religious trauma. I’m here to support you every step of the way. With a diverse background in the study of religion, creative writing, and psychology, I bring a unique perspective to the counseling process. I understand how childhood experiences and trauma can cause overwhelming emotions. With gentle somatic therapies like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), I'll help you release the past's grip. Self-discovery and compassion are key. Through existential and narrative approaches, I'll guide you to deepen your relationship with yourself. I want you to know that you’re not alone in this journey. Together, we can create a safe space where you can explore, heal, and embrace a brighter future. I am here to offer support as you navigate your way toward self-acceptance and healing.
