Navigating relationships, career transitions, and family stress can feel overwhelming, often leading to anxiety, depression, or emotional exhaustion. I specialize in helping women process unresolved trauma and life changes using EMDR and CBT, guiding them to reduce distress linked to negative memories and core beliefs. My therapeutic approach focuses on reshaping self-perception, transforming critical inner dialogue into one of self-compassion. I believe that healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. Together, we will work to uncover your most authentic self and build a path toward balance and peace.
