Trauma doesn’t always look the way people expect. It can strike suddenly through a violent event or it can quietly shape you over years of emotional neglect or criticism. Whether you’ve experienced a life-altering trauma or have been carrying the weight of painful childhood experiences, the impact is real—and healing is possible.

“Big T” traumas are the major events most people associate with PTSD—things like assaults, sexual abuse, serious accidents or witnessing violence. These events can leave you feeling unsafe, on edge, emotionally reactive or trapped in painful memories that just won’t let go.

“Little t” traumas, while less obvious, can be just as damaging. Growing up in a home where love felt conditional, or where you were constantly criticized, ignored, or made to feel “not good enough” can lead to lasting emotional pain. You may struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, people-pleasing, addictions, toxic relationships or chronic self-sabotage—all rooted in those early wounds. Trauma doesn’t just fade with time. It needs the right kind of
attention.

In our work together, I use proven methods like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy to gently help your brain and body process what happened. I also use Expressive Writing and intensive talk therapy to help you fully work through your experiences—so you can begin to feel safer, more connected and more like yourself again.

Anxiety can take over your mind and body—making even small decisions feel overwhelming and everyday situations seem daunting. It shows up in many ways: constant worry, racing thoughts, panic attacks, fear of judgment, avoidance of public places or even intense reactions to specific things like flying or driving. Whether you struggle with Generalized Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety, Phobias or Agoraphobia, you are not alone—and you don’t have to live this way.

In therapy, I’ll help you understand the roots of your anxiety and teach you tools to regain a sense of calm and control. Using scientifically-proven approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Graded Exposure, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and EMDR Therapy (for trauma-related anxiety), we’ll work together to reduce your fear and increase your confidence. You’ll learn to respond to anxiety in healthier, more empowered ways so you can reclaim your life.

When you’re depressed, life can feel like it’s happening behind a glass wall—dull, heavy and unreachable. You might struggle to get out of bed, feel numb or hopeless, lose interest in the things you once loved or carry a quiet pain that no one sees. Depression is not a sign of weakness. It’s a signal that something in you needs attention, care and healing.

In therapy, I offer a safe, compassionate space to work through the weight of depression. Using approaches like CBT, ACT, EMDR (for trauma-related depression), and Expressive Writing, we’ll identify the patterns that keep you stuck and gently open space for new ways of thinking, feeling and living. You can rediscover meaning, joy and the strength to move forward—even when that first step feels hard.

OCD can feel like your brain is stuck in a loop—intrusive thoughts you don’t want and rituals you feel forced to do. Whether it’s constant checking, needing things to feel “just right” or relentless mental replaying and reassurance seeking, OCD can rob you of peace, time and energy. But you are not your thoughts and OCD is treatable.

I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention therapy, the gold-standard treatment for OCD. This powerful approach helps retrain your brain by gradually reducing your reliance on compulsions. I also use ACT and Mindfulness-Based strategies to help you make peace with uncertainty and loosen OCD’s grip. And when trauma contributes to the cycle, EMDR Therapy can be a helpful addition to support deeper healing.

Life doesn’t always go according to plan. Grief, career changes, breakups, moves, retirement or becoming a parent—these moments can shake your sense of direction and identity. Even “positive” changes can leave you feeling anxious, lost, or uncertain about what comes next. You don’t need to navigate these transitions alone.

Therapy provides a supportive space to process change, loss or uncertainty with warmth and clarity. Whether you’re grieving a loved one, adjusting to a new phase of life or feeling overwhelmed by a decision, I’ll help you find your footing. Together, we’ll explore what’s shifting and what matters most to you moving forward. I draw on CBT, Mindfulness, EMDR and Expressive Writing to help you build resilience and step into the next chapter of your life with confidence and purpose.

Relationships are where we find love, security—and sometimes our deepest pain. If you and your partner feel stuck in conflict, emotionally disconnected or uncertain about how to repair your bond, couples therapy can help.

I work primarily from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a proven approach that gets to the heart of relational distress. EFT helps couples identify the underlying emotional needs driving their conflicts—like the need to feel seen, valued and safe. Together, we’ll work on expressing those needs in ways that invite connection instead of pushing each other away.

I also draw on practical tools from Behavioral Couples Therapy to improve communication, rebuild trust, and help both partners show up in ways that foster intimacy and respect. Whether you’re fighting, drifting apart or trying to heal from a rupture, couples therapy can be the turning point in restoring closeness and resilience in your relationship.

Addictions can feel like you’re living two lives—one where you function well on the surface and another where you’re caught in a cycle you can’t break. Whether it’s substances, porn, food, sex or spending, these behaviors often begin as a way to cope—but eventually take over and
create even more pain. I offer a non-judgmental, supportive space to explore what’s driving your addiction and how to move beyond it.

My approach combines CBT (to change the patterns that fuel addiction), Mindfulness (to increase awareness and self-regulation), Harm-Reduction (for those wish to consume at a moderate level) and Relapse Prevention strategies. Together, we’ll work toward understanding the root of your compulsions and developing healthier, more sustainable ways of managing your emotions, relationships and life.

Sexual difficulties can be incredibly distressing, yet many people suffer in silence—feeling embarrassed, ashamed or unsure of where to turn. Issues like erectile dysfunction, painful intercourse, orgasm difficulties or low desire can impact your self-esteem and strain relationships. These challenges are more common than you might think—and they are highly treatable.

In therapy, I offer a safe and respectful space to explore and resolve sexual concerns. I use CBT, Systematic Desensitization and other effective techniques tailored to your specific needs. Whether the causes are psychological, physiological or relational, we’ll work together to reduce anxiety, improve communication and help you reconnect with your body and partner in healthier, more satisfying ways.

For those who want to integrate their Christian faith into therapy, I offer an approach that honors both your spiritual and emotional life. Christian Counselling seamlessly combines the insights of modern psychological approaches with timeless biblical wisdom to support your healing journey. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationships or spiritual doubt, we can explore these challenges through a lens grounded in faith, hope and grace.

Our work may include scripture, prayer and Christian teachings as part of your healing process—always tailored to your level of comfort and belief. This approach welcomes clients from all walks of faith and invites deeper spiritual growth while addressing emotional struggles with care and compassion.
