Great to meet you!

In therapy with me, you can expect to be deeply understood, supported, and met where you are. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with specialized training in partner betrayal trauma, I bring a trauma-informed and compassionate approach to helping clients navigate complex emotional pain and relational wounds. Some days our work may focus on practical solutions, while other days it is about slowing down, being heard, and making sense of what you are carrying.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, empathetic, and collaborative, creating a safe and nurturing environment where your thoughts, feelings, and experiences are valued and explored with care. I am dedicated to building a strong therapeutic alliance, ensuring that you feel heard and supported every step of the way. Together, we will explore your story and navigate life's challenges. I am here to offer support and guidance as you explore your inner world, understand your experiences, and cultivate skills for building healthier relationships and emotional well-being.

What you can expect from me

After your first session, therapy often shifts into deeper processing and meaning-making around what you are experiencing. Sessions are collaborative and responsive, allowing space to explore patterns, emotions, and reactions as they unfold. Some weeks focus on understanding and integration, while others support practical change. We move at a pace that respects your readiness and nervous system. Over time, this process helps create clarity, insight, and more intentional ways of responding.
