<p class="font_8">My approach is rooted in the belief that while trauma and grief can feel overwhelming, they do not have to be your permanent reality.

<p class="font_8">I can help navigate the heavy fog of trauma, grief, or eating disorders. I specialize in helping clients process the complex layers where identity and the perinatal period meet.

<h6 class="font_6">My communication style</h6>
<h6 class="font_6"><br></h6>
<p class="font_8">Choosing a therapist is about finding a balance between professional expertise and a human connection that feels safe. My communication style is warm, active, and deeply collaborative. I have learned that the most profound shifts happen when you feel truly seen—not just as a set of symptoms, but as a whole person with a unique history.</p>
