Hi! I'm so glad you're here! I'm an experienced licensed therapist with a background in psychology (bachelor's degree) and social work (master's degree). I have over 10 years of experience as a therapist. I love helping clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, difficulties in relationships, and past trauma.

I work with you to get curious, dive deep, and explore what's going on for you to get to the root cause. Then I use various methods to resolve it so you can grow and thrive in your best life. I have training in somatic and brain based methods (AEDP and brainspotting) that help you rewire your brain after trauma. I also use CBT and DBT skills to equip you with the tools to manage your thoughts and feelings so you can live a more fulfilling and joyful life!

I am all about taking gradual steps to change because it prevents you from getting overwhelmed but still adds up to create big shifts in yourself and your life. I tend to give you something to work on between sessions so you can solidify the work and integrate it into "real life". This also gives us an opportunity to identify any barriers to putting what you're learning into action so we can adapt the approach to one that actually works for you.
