Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals heal, grow, and thrive. I specialize in trauma-informed care, with advanced training in EMDR and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). My background includes over 6 years of supporting clients with anxiety, panic, life transitions, and lingering effects of trauma.

Beyond techniques and credentials, I want you to know that I truly believe healing is possible for everyone. Therapy with me isn't about judgment or "fixing," it's about creating a safe supportive space where you can rediscover your strength and move toward the life you want.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual. I draw on EMDR to help clients process painful memories, DBT skills to strengthen coping and balance emotions, and mindfulness-based strategies to build resilience in everyday life.

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine partnership; you bring your lived experiences and goals, and I bring tools, insight, and a steady presence. Together, we work at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. My focus is always on empowering you to not just manage symptoms, but to experience lasting change and a deeper sense of peace.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling supported and understood, with practical tools to manage stress, calm their nervous system, and navigate challenges more effectively. My goal is for you to gain clarity, release patterns that no longer serve you, and build lasting confidence and peace in your daily life.
