Great to meet you!

I work with many clients, but I’m especially drawn to those carrying the weight of trauma—from early experiences, relationship wounds, or life transitions—who seek a safe, compassionate space to heal. They may feel disconnected or unsure of their worth and want more than symptom relief—they want reconnection. Using a humanistic, trauma-focused approach, I help them explore their story, regulate emotions, and rebuild trust. Together, we work toward resilience, meaning, and a more grounded, authentic life.

My approach to therapy

I help clients face fears and emotions that keep them stuck using Exposure Therapy, Mindfulness, and ACT. I also offer Equine-Assisted Therapy as an optional experiential approach. Together, we reduce avoidance, build self-awareness, and move toward meaningful, values-based change for a more authentic life.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming, low-pressure space where we get to know each other and what brought you in. We’ll talk about your goals, what’s been weighing on you, and what you hope to get out of therapy—at your pace. My focus is on building trust, helping you feel understood, and creating a plan that actually fits you. You don’t need to have the “right words” yet—we’ll figure it out together.
