More about me ➣

Welcome to Heal With Me Psychotherapy.

I believe in a holistic, client-centered, and trauma-informed therapeutic approach that honors the unique needs of every individual. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and culturally responsive space where clients can explore the full range of human emotion, heal from painful experiences, and develop healthy ways of coping with mental health challenges and life stressors.

I understand that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, and you are not alone in this. Whatever your reason for seeking mental health support, at Heal With Me Psychotherapy we can build a nurturing and collaborative therapeutic relationship that empowers you to cultivate and sustain meaningful life change — a space where growth, transformation, and healing can occur.

Thriving begins when surviving is no longer the only option.

What does healing mean in therapy?

Depending on your needs and therapeutic goals, healing can take many forms. It may include:

  • Gaining greater self-awareness

  • Increasing self-compassion and radical self-love

  • Identifying and expressing emotions more easily

  • Improving relationships and communication

  • Desensitizing yourself to painful memories 

  • Expanding your capacity to tolerate and cope with stress

  • Reducing suffering and the intensity and frequency of distressing symptoms

  • Changing unhelpful or maladaptive patterns

  • Developing healthier ways of thinking, behaving, and relating to yourself and others

  • Cultivating a deeper sense of inner peace

  • A shift in how you respond to life challenges 

  • A stronger sense of fulfillment and meaning


Healing is not just what happens in therapy sessions, it’s a process of emotional, psychological, and behavioral growth that continues outside of sessions and throughout your life.
