Great to meet you!

Whether you are a young adult navigating the overwhelming pressure of starting out, or a middle-aged adult facing the heavy weight of an unexpected life detour, it can be exhausting, overwhelming, and leaving you feeling anxious. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in helping individuals bridge the gap between the life they planned and the reality they are facing.

My approach to therapy

In our work together, we won't just talk about the pain—we will actively process it. By blending the deep healing of EMDR for highly distressing memories, the practical grounding of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) rooted in mindful compassion, and the forward-moving flexibility of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we will address both the mind and the body. Together, we can honor the grief of what didn't turn out the way you envisioned, untangle the knots of past trauma, and build a meaningful, compassionate path forward.

What you can expect from me

Making the choice to get help is a courageous step. I am here to provide a safe space, listen, and help guide you through the process of being at peace, balanced, and more satisfied with life.
