Empowerment Through Therapy
Stress
Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress? When stress piles up, it can lead to burnout and disrupt your daily life, causing issues like sleep problems, pain, irritability, and more. Together, we’ll uncover the sources of your stress and find ways to reduce it so you can regain clarity and calm.
Trauma
Trauma affects everyone differently, whether from a single event or multiple experiences over time. As a trauma specialist, I’ll help you explore how past events impact your life today, using grounding techniques to heal without being overwhelmed by your past.
Anxiety
Anxiety can manifest in many ways, from panic attacks and phobias to social anxiety and sensory overload. When did you first notice feeling anxious?
Together, we’ll uncover your anxiety triggers and develop tools to help you feel calmer and more in control.
Neurodivergent Therapy & Coaching
As a neurodivergent therapist, I deeply understand the unique experiences that come with neurodivergence. We’ll work together to tailor each session to your needs, focusing on conditions like autism, ADHD, and more, to help you thrive.
Depression
Depression often signals that we’ve been stressed or anxious for too long and can feel like burnout. Together, we’ll explore what depression means for you and work towards meeting your emotional needs, lifting your mood, and finding purpose in your life.
