Message to clients

Are you trapped in a cycle of stress and responsibility, struggling to find time and space for you? Caregiver burnout, chronic stress, symptoms of anxiety and depression and effects of past trauma can keep you stuck, even when you know something needs to change. If you struggle to put yourself first, it can be challenging to make a shift on your own.

The good news is, you don't have to do it alone. By seeking help, you’ve already taken the first step toward healing. Take the next one by booking a free consultation. During this meeting, we’ll connect, explore your needs, and see how my therapeutic approach can benefit you.

I’ll use my experience with methods such as CBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Somatic Practices, and Mindfulness to help you: identify your core stressors, learn healthy ways to alleviate them, and enjoy deeper connections.

When we work together, you bring your story, and I'll bring the rest.

My practice is a safe space to share and explore the story of your past so we can uncover the roots of your struggles and focus on creating a future that feels lighter and more balanced.
