Great to meet you!

I’m passionate about guiding individuals on their journey to healing and personal growth. Trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I specialize in helping clients release past traumas, lighten their emotional burdens, and create space for a more fulfilling present. I believe in the power of connection, and I strive to create a supportive, empathetic environment where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we’ll work on building a life that reflects your best self, free from the weight of the past and focused on living fully in the now.

I also love the outdoors and use experiential therapy techniques in nature to help guide clients through their own mental roadblocks, current and past trauma, and self doubt.

My approach to therapy

My main focus in my practice is authenticity. I challenge my clients through traditional talk therapy, EMDR, experiential activities and when appropriate, therapeutic adventures or nature therapy. I strive for open communication and honesty with my clients.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, Experiential Education and Adventure & Nature Therapy.

What you can expect from me

I want my clients to leave a session with me feeling lighter from the burdens they are carrying. I want them to feel safe, supported and valid as humans with complex histories and emotions.
