Great to meet you!

Are you feeling stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by change, or weighed down by conflict in your relationships? Many of my clients come to me with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship issues, parenting stress, or the lingering effects of past trauma. Some are brand new to therapy, while others have tried it before and left feeling like they didn’t get where they hoped—maybe the fit wasn’t right, or progress stalled. They come ready to deepen insight, break old patterns, and truly level up in their personal growth.

***Trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I’ve witnessed how EMDR can help clients move from “stuck” into incredible growth. I specialize in trauma and have worked with both men’s and women's groups for years facilitating connection, support and an empowering space for healing.***

With over 10 years of experience in mental health, I’ve worked extensively with adults, young adults, teens, and families navigating a wide range of stressors. I have also worked with youth in an in-home therapy setting and provided parenting support/education. I facilitated a community group, that ran for a few years, supporting parents and caregivers of children with special needs.

I have also worked with many clients with co-occurring chronic health conditions and am a Type 1 Diabetic myself, which has given me unique perspective in this area.

In addition to direct clinical work, I also managed a mental health program, which included mentoring and supervising therapists. I'm passionate about fostering quality care in mental health.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, authentic, and human. You won’t feel like you’re talking to a robot giving generic advice like “try meditation or yoga.” While I provide a validating and supportive space, I also believe in accountability. Together, we'll face discomfort head-on, because that's where meaningful growth happens.

One of my favorite quotes is: “The only way out is through.” Sitting with difficult emotions is an essential part of the healing process.

What you can expect from me

My favorite thing to hear from clients is "Oh wow. I didn't know therapy could be like THAT."

Not every session will feel like a breakthrough and at times this work can be draining—but each session helps you build mastery toward a more present, fulfilling, and empowering life that you deserve.
