Great to meet you!

I have been working as a therapist since 2020, over time finding my passion in attachment, trauma, relationships, transitional periods, grief motherhood, and more.

I am EMDR trained and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP).

My approach to therapy

I am big on meeting people where they are at and building a solid therapeutic relationship/sense of safety before getting into anything, as I have found this to be the foundation of getting what you want out of therapy. You have to feel safe, in control, seen, and understood in order to become vulnerable enough to do the work. Working with me, you will find grace, gentleness, and warmth- paired with honesty and straightforward, authentic communication. I am EMDR trained and pull from a variety of therapy modalities including parts work, person-centered, and trauma-informed care.

What you can expect from me

In our first session together, we will be focused on building rapport and a getting a picture of what led you to seek therapy. For some this may be very goal-focused, for others this may look more conversational and loose. I aim to tailor this first session to what you are needing, while maintaining focus on building trust and safety within this new therapeutic relationship.
