Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed psychotherapist who helps adults work through trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. With training in EMDR and trauma-focused CBT, I offer therapy that is warm, thoughtful, and grounded in both clinical skill and genuine human connection. I value relational, long-term work and enjoy walking alongside clients through both the difficult and meaningful seasons of their lives.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and insight-oriented. I draw from EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, trauma-informed care, attachment-based work, and practical cognitive behavioral tools to help clients understand patterns, process painful experiences, and create meaningful change. I tailor therapy to each person so the work feels grounded, effective, and deeply relevant to their life.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a supportive, thoughtful, and nonjudgmental space where we begin exploring what is bringing them in and what they hope will change. I’ll ask questions to better understand your history, current challenges, and goals, while also helping you feel comfortable and understood. My hope is that you leave the first session with greater clarity, a sense of connection, and confidence in the work we can do together.
