I have 4 years of counseling experience and over 18 years working with families in professional settings. I’m trained in the Gottman Method for couples, CBT, and ART, and I especially enjoy working with people who are ready to grow and make meaningful changes in their lives. I believe the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of real progress, and I put a lot of care into building a sincere, unique connection with each person I see.
When we’re working with trauma, my priority is to meet you exactly where you are. I focus on creating a space that feels safe and steady, so you can process your emotions, memories, and reactions at a pace that doesn’t feel overwhelming or push you into fight-or-flight. We’ll check in often, move slowly when needed, and honor your limits along the way.
In our first session, we’ll review paperwork, complete a few brief assessments, and talk through your hopes and goals for therapy in a broad way. We’ll also use that time to get to know each other and see how it feels to work together. My goal is for you to leave that first appointment with a clearer sense of direction and a sense of whether I’m the right fit to support you.
