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.

A bit about 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 our first session

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.
