What you should know about me is that I’m deeply committed to creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and not judged. My path into this work was shaped by a long-standing curiosity about human behavior and relationships, as well as personal experiences that showed me how powerful it is to have support during difficult times.

For over 15 years, I’ve worked in behavioral health in a variety of roles—from supporting families and at-risk adolescents to volunteering in community-based programs. Those experiences have shaped how I show up as a therapist: grounded, compassionate, and focused on helping you build healthier relationships, stronger boundaries, and a more secure sense of self.

I understand how easy it is to feel ‘not enough’ or unheard, and I’m intentional about helping clients work through those experiences—whether they’re rooted in past trauma, shame, or ongoing life challenges. My goal is to meet you where you are and support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.

I take an integrative, trauma-informed approach to therapy, meaning I tailor our work to your unique needs while paying close attention to how past experiences, relationships, and the nervous system shape your current challenges. I draw from attachment-based and relational therapy to understand patterns in how you connect with yourself and others, and I incorporate mindfulness and body-based strategies to support emotional regulation and resilience.

For clients dealing with specific concerns like OCD or trauma, I use evidence-based approaches such as EMDR and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I also integrate parts work to help clients better understand and work with different aspects of themselves.

I’m committed to ongoing growth as a clinician—I regularly pursue advanced trainings and participate in consultation with peers and supervisors to ensure I’m providing thoughtful, effective care. Currently, I’m deepening my work with OCD through specialized consultation to continue strengthening my skills in that area.

Starting with the intake, I gather your history—mental health, medical, family, social & we begin identifying the patterns that may be affecting your current wellbeing. We discuss your concerns, what you’re hoping to get out of therapy, & whether we are a good fit. We’ll set initial goals for treatment. From there, we meet weekly or biweekly depending on your needs and availability. Progress can be subtle at first, becoming more aware of your emotions or noticing when you’re caught in old patterns. Over time, clients feel more grounded, self-compassionate, & better equipped to handle stress & relationships. I enjoy working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, & life transitions, ready to heal.

Success in therapy isn't about fixing people—it's about helping them reconnect with their own strength, insight, and capacity for growth.
