Great to meet you!

I believe healing begins in a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, respected, and understood. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their experiences, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to offer a compassionate, grounded space where your story is honored and your growth feels supported.

I specialize in working with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and relationship concerns, and I use evidence-based, trauma-focused approaches tailored to each client’s needs. My work is structured yet flexible, helping clients feel safe while building insight, coping skills, and emotional regulation.

I am trained in EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and I work with individuals, couples, and families. Whether you are processing past trauma, navigating current stressors, or seeking deeper connection in your relationships, I am here to support you at a pace that feels right.

I look forward to partnering with you on your healing and growth journey.

My approach to therapy

I draw on evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These methods can help reduce distress, shift unhelpful patterns, and support the mind and body in processing trauma.
