About Me (she/her)
Life’s challenges can often leave individuals feeling overwhelmed, lost, or disconnected from their true selves. This pain, whether it stems from trauma, anxiety, or relationship difficulties, can feel isolating and unmanageable.
By integrating a Dialectical Behavior Therapy informed approach with narrative therapy, clients can learn to understand and manage their emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and transform their personal stories into ones of empowerment and growth. With a focus on radical acceptance, emotional regulation, and meaning-making, clients are supported in rebuilding resilience and finding new ways to approach life’s obstacles.
If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and reclaiming your narrative, reach out today to begin the journey toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
