Great to meet you!

I am a licensed therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with resilience and compassion. With a strong background in trauma-informed care, I specialize in supporting clients dealing with anxiety, trauma, depression, and life transitions, utilizing evidence-based approaches tailored to each person’s unique needs. My practice is rooted in creating a safe, supportive space where healing and growth can thrive.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual’s needs. I integrate trauma-informed care with evidence-based modalities, such as EMDR, Havening Techniques, mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral techniques, to help clients build resilience and navigate challenges. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences, develop new coping strategies, and foster meaningful growth.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to leave sessions with a deeper understanding of themselves, practical tools to manage challenges, and a renewed sense of hope. My focus is on fostering an environment of safety and trust, where clients feel heard and supported as they work toward their goals. Together, we aim to build resilience, improve emotional well-being, and create meaningful change in their lives. Trauma work can be difficult, meaning sessions can at times feel exhausting or draining. The work is worth it, you are worth the work!
