I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of experience working with adults navigating trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions. I often work with clients who are thoughtful, capable, and high-functioning, yet feel the internal cost of holding everything together. My style is direct, warm, and curious, and I value depth, honesty, and collaboration in the psychotherapeutic process.
My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and nervous-system focused. I integrate psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, somatic practices, and DBT-informed skills to support regulation, emotional integration, and sustainable change. Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, I help clients understand how their nervous system adapted and how to restore greater capacity, clarity, and choice.
The first session is a space to slow down, get oriented, and begin building a sense of safety and trust. We’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy, what feels most important right now, and what you’re hoping for from this work. Goal-setting is collaborative and flexible, balancing structure with openness so the work can evolve as new insights emerge. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out, just a place to begin.
