Great to meet you!

Hello! I am an empathetic therapist dedicated to helping individuals find balance through a holistic, mind-body approach. With over seven years of experience in solution-focused counseling and crisis support, I specialize in helping people navigate everything from daily stress to major life hurdles. My practice is rooted in trauma-informed care to help you feel safe and empowered. I truly believe in the power of understanding our internal world and nervous systems to create lasting change. I’m so glad you’re here, and I look forward to supporting you on your journey!

My approach to therapy

I believe true healing happens when we honor the deep connection between your mind and body. I focus on creating a safe, holistic space where you feel truly seen. To support your journey, I blend practical tools like CBT and DBT skills with an understanding of how your nervous system and early experiences shape your well-being. By exploring these connections and building emotional strength, we work together to foster the lasting, empowered change you deserve. My goal is to make therapy feel approachable and effective, ensuring our work is always tailored to your unique story and needs.

What you can expect from me

In our first session together, you can expect a warm, non-judgmental environment where your comfort and safety are the top priorities. We will start by exploring what has led you to seek therapy at this time and discuss the specific goals you’d like to achieve. We’ll also spend some time gathering important background information to help me understand your unique story and how your past experiences shape your present.

My goal for this initial meeting is for us to begin building a trusting partnership while creating a roadmap for our work together. Ultimately, I want you to walk away feeling heard, empowered, and hopeful about the path ahead.
