Great to meet you!

I help adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by trauma, PTSD, anxiety, grief, depression, or relationship challenges. Maybe you’re carrying experiences from the past that still affect you today, or you’re simply trying to find your footing during a difficult season of life. Wherever you are, therapy can be a place to feel understood, find hope, and begin moving forward.

My approach is warm, empathetic, and empowering. I want you to feel safe being yourself and comfortable sharing what matters to you. I use EMDR to help process trauma, along with CBT and IFS, while giving you practical coping skills you can carry with you beyond our sessions.

If you’re ready to make a change or simply want someone to help you make sense of what you’re going through, I invite you to reach out or schedule a session online. I would be honored to hear your story, meet you where you are, and walk alongside you as you work toward healing.

My approach to therapy

I focus on providing a safe space so that you can identify and acknowledge your wounds. I utilize EMDR when focusing on trauma while also offering a warm and compassionate enviornment.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will include an intake while also exploring what goals you want to accomplish. After our first meeting I desire that you walk away with HOPE and coping skills that will continue to grow.
