Great to meet you!

As a licensed mental health counselor and EMDR clinician with over 20 years in the counseling field, I understand the importance of living a joyful life. I believes that the key to a successful therapeutic relationship is in the connection made. I believe finding a therapist you can connect with makes all of the difference in allowing you to open up and grow as a person.

My approach to therapy

s a holistic, trauma-focused therapist, I work with clients in a gentle, collaborative, and body-aware way. My style is warm, grounded, and nonjudgmental. I integrate somatic practices, mindfulness, and inner parts work to help clients feel safer in their bodies and reclaim their sense of self. I specialize in trauma recovery, anxiety, and identity exploration, always honoring each person's pace and resilience.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling more connected to themselves, with greater clarity, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. My goal is to help clients build inner safety, process trauma gently, and develop tools for grounding and resilience. I create a calm, affirming, and collaborative space where all parts of a person are welcome. Over time, clients often notice increased confidence, healthier boundaries, and a deeper sense of agency in their lives.
