Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker who is certified in EMDR, Perinatal Mental Health, and Brainspotting. I am also a certified advanced provider of Compassionate Bereavement Care through the MISS Foundation.

I come from a trauma informed lens and specialize in assisting adults navigating persistent emotional overwhelm in their daily lives. My goal is to guide you away from feeling immobilized and without direction, to empowering you to discover meaning, purpose, and fulfillment.

My approach to therapy

As a therapist I embrace the following philosophies:

I believe that you deserve to feel better.

I believe that you are worthy of love and care.

I believe that emotions heal when they are witnessed and validated.

I believe that therapy should address the person as a whole - their mind, body, and spirit.

I believe that loving and accepting ourselves for who we are, scars and all, is one of the most courageous things we can do.

What you can expect from me

Sessions will provide you with the space to be understood and heard. In feeling safe and comfortable, you'll be able to feel what you need to feel.

It's important to me to provide a non-judgemental space where you can be yourself. There isn't a "one size fits all" approach to therapy. Our sessions will fit your specific needs and concerns.
