Great to meet you!

I work with adults to address challenges related to finding relief from shame and guilt, relationship struggles, depression, anxiety, and inner criticism through self compassion and self understanding. I believe in the transformative power of understanding, connection and healing. I have a Master's degree in Psychology and Marriage and Family Therapy and have specialized in trauma work.

My approach to therapy

I use many different therapeutic interventions including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, internal family systems, compassion focused therapy, and trauma informed care. My approach is compassionate and personalized while blending evidence-based techniques with a deep respect for your life journey.

What you can expect from me

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression and anxiety related to their trauma or relationships/family. I've worked with diverse clients facing complex challenges, and I bring a grounded, supportive, and nonjudgmental approach to every session. My goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered.
