Have you ever looked at your life and thought, "This isn't how I pictured it"? I love helping people who are ready to dig into what's really holding them back. I am a licensed psychotherapist (LCSW) and I use a trauma healing modality called EMDR, along with working on creating sustainable behavior change. Life's patterns – whether it's constantly checking your phone, turning to social media, gaming, porn, or food when stressed, or repeating relationship dynamics you swore you'd never repeat – can feel like quicksand. Together, we'll tackle your specific challenges, whether that's depression that won't lift, anxiety that keeps you up at night, or trauma that still affects your daily choices. Think of me as your co-navigator in this journey – I bring the expertise, but you know your terrain best. Whether you're trying to rebuild trust, kick a habit that's overstayed its welcome, or find your footing after a major change, we'll develop practical strategies that fit into your real life. Here's the thing about making changes – the perfect time doesn't exist, but the right time is when you decide enough is enough. If you're still reading this, part of you is ready for something different. Reach out to me and let's have an honest conversation about what's going on and how we might tackle it together.
