Great to meet you!

I help individuals with navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, faith transitions, and religious trauma. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or their values, and we work together to create meaningful, sustainable change.

I am EMDR trained and draw from attachment-based approaches, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also have pursued and continue to pursue specialized training focused on understanding and treating religious trauma.

My approach to therapy

Clients often describe me as straight‐shooting, compassionate, and non‐judgmental. I value honesty, collaboration, and creating a space where you can show up fully as yourself. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and committed to providing therapy that is respectful, inclusive, and grounded in safety and trust.

What you can expect from me

My style is person-centered and flexible—I adapt therapy to the unique needs, goals, and pace of each client rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Whether you’re processing trauma, questioning long-held beliefs, or working to better understand yourself and your relationships, I aim to help you move toward greater clarity, self-compassion, and emotional resilience.
