Great to meet you!

I am a master's level mental health therapist dedicated to helping clients overcome PTSD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and grief. Recognizing that we all experience trauma, I specialize in helping individuals process their past, manage dissociation, and learn vital coping skills. Having navigated my own healing journey, I deeply understand the profound benefits of therapy. My ultimate focus is on your holistic wellbeing, guiding you to decrease symptoms, increase self-awareness, and learn to truly enjoy life again.

My approach to therapy

I offer a warm, supportive environment where we partner together to explore your experiences and uncover your strengths. Because everyone heals differently, I integrate EMDR, CBT, DBT, and talk therapy to find what works best for you. Together, we will move you toward greater emotional balance, healing, and lasting self-confidence.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we will focus on creating a safe space where you can process deeply and grow authentically. We will collaborate to identify incremental, achievable goals that reconnect you with your sense of possibility. If you are ready to start healing and living a fuller life, please reach out today to schedule your first appointment.
