Great to meet you!

Sometimes life gets heavier than you expected, and carrying it alone stops making sense. Whether you're working through trauma, managing anxiety, or navigating depression, I'm here to help you move forward. As a licensed therapist with specialized EMDR training, I bring both the clinical tools and the personal attention to make therapy feel like a genuine partnership. I'm glad you're considering this step.

My approach to therapy

Building real trust is the foundation of everything we do together. I draw from CBT, ACT, EMDR, and trauma-focused approaches, tailoring each session to what you actually need, because your experience is yours alone. Whether that means processing past trauma, developing practical coping tools, or simply having space to think things through, we will find what works. EMDR sessions are available upon request.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is about getting to know each other and mapping out what you want from therapy. I'll ask questions, you'll share what feels comfortable, and together we'll set a direction that makes sense for you. Most clients leave that first session feeling like they finally said the things they had been quietly carrying. That's what I'm here for: a space where you can truly exhale.
