Great to meet you!

When you've been carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, or grief for a long time, it can begin to affect every part of your life. Maybe you've spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you've forgotten how to care for yourself. You may find yourself constantly on edge, replaying painful experiences, struggling to feel present, or wondering if you'll ever feel like yourself again. Grief can leave you feeling disconnected and lost, while anxiety can make even the smallest tasks feel overwhelming. Whatever has brought you to therapy, you deserve a space where your experiences are met with compassion and understanding.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, and grief. Connection and trust are the foundation of everything we do together. I see therapy as a true partnership — as the expert of your own life, your role is to "drive the bus," and my role is to help navigate: offering a listening ear, honest encouragement, and a gentle challenge when you need it most. I bring deep experience with trauma-focused care, and I'll meet you with both warmth and directness as we work toward the goals that matter most to you.

What you can expect from me

Healing doesn't mean forgetting what you've been through—it means learning how to carry it differently. Our first session is yours to share your story and begin naming what you hope to achieve. We'll explore what brought you here, identify the strengths and tools you already have, and start building new ones together. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely safe — where you can be vulnerable and authentic without judgment. From there, we'll move through your healing process at a pace that feels right for you.
