A Little About Me…..
I specialize in helping children who struggle with separation anxiety and women navigating anxiety and the impact of trauma. Whether you're a parent concerned about your child’s overwhelming distress at drop-off, or a woman carrying the weight of anxiety or past experiences, I offer a supportive space for healing and growth.
What I can help you with….
Separation Anxiety
Do goodbyes turn into crying meltdowns? Does your child constantly cling to you? I help children with separation anxiety using play therapy techniques, EMDR, and parent sessions to build emotional security, confidence, and resilience. Together, we'll help your child feel safe enough to separate, explore the world—while giving you the tools to support them every step of the way.
Anxiety
Having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep? Do you find yourself worrying about what might happen next or replaying things you can't control? Together, we'll help your nervous system feel safer while building practical coping skills so you can feel more grounded, confident, and in control. Healing can start today—reach out to schedule a consultation.
Depression
Are you feeling low? Have you lost the joy or excitement you once felt, or find yourself without the energy to socialize or do the things you used to enjoy? Together, we'll build practical coping skills, gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and help you reconnect with the parts of life that matter most to you. Healing can start today—reach out to schedule a consultation.
Trauma
Did you grow up in a chaotic home? Have you experienced something so overwhelming that it still feels like your mind and body haven't fully moved on? You don't have to keep carrying the weight of those experiences alone. Healing is possible, and I'd be honored to walk alongside you—reach out today for a consultation.
