My main concerns are your safety and your growth at your own speed. I bring experience from coaching to deep emotional processing to EMDR. I will bring all my knowledge to you so you get what you want from therapy. I can sit with you in silence if that is what you need, or give you suggestions and homework if that is how you learn best.

I find Lukas very easy to talk to. He has a lot of experience with different techniques. I like his feedback and suggestions in our sessions.

I help adults who grew up parenting their parents, shouldering perfectionism, people-pleasing, and caregiver roles reclaim their true selves and build lasting resilience. I provide trauma-informed support for survivors of sexual abuse and create an affirming, nonjudgmental space for LGBTQ+ clients.

She's honest and kind, with no nonsense. Yes, I am a survivor of trauma, but I have learned to overcome seeing myself as a victim. I never thought I would be in a place where I can set boundaries without feeling guilty and share my past without pain and tears. I am now an advocate for mental health, domestic violence, and sexual trauma. I have been able to achieve all of this by learning how to care for myself through therapy.
