I’m an LPC who specializes in trauma, PTSD, attachment wounds, anxiety, and sexual abuse, but I’m also a real person who believes therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or clinical. I bring warmth, curiosity, and authenticity into the room and want you to feel like you can truly be yourself with me. My practice is trauma-informed and LGBTQ+ affirming, and I use EMDR, IFS-informed approaches, DBT, and CBT to meet you where you are.
I’m not a therapist who is going to just nod and ask, “And how does that make you feel?” I’m engaged, curious, and collaborative, and I’ll help you connect the dots between what you’ve been through and the patterns showing up in your life now. I use EMDR along with IFS-informed work, DBT, and CBT, but therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all. We’ll find what actually works for you and go from there.
First sessions can feel a little awkward—you’re meeting a stranger and suddenly expected to talk about your life! My goal is to make it feel as comfortable and natural as possible while we get to know each other and talk about what brought you in. You don’t need to have the perfect words or tell me everything on day one. We’ll go at your pace, and hopefully you’ll leave feeling like you can exhale a little and that you’ve found someone who gets it.
