Great to meet you!

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—whether from past trauma, grief, or relationship challenges—you’re not alone, and change is possible. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults of all ages who are navigating trauma, abuse, and loss.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. I use evidence-based practices including EMDR and somatic therapy to help process difficult experiences and support nervous system regulation—so you can feel more grounded, connected, and in control. I bring both professional training and real-life experience, with a background in service, legal, educational, and nonprofit settings.

What you can expect from me

In our first sessions, we’ll focus on what’s bringing you in and what you’d like to see change. You don’t need to have everything figured out—that’s something we’ll explore together. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, setting goals and adjusting as your needs evolve.
