Great to meet you!

Hi there! I'm glad you're here. I’m a therapist who values real connection and honest conversations. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and never judged. Together, we’ll focus on practical tools and meaningful growth. My goal is to help you navigate challenges and build a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.

My approach to therapy

I use a trauma-informed, integrative approach that prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment. I incorporate techniques from EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based practices to support healing and growth. We’ll work to understand how past experiences may be impacting your present and processing them so you feel more grounded, resilient, and in control.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and start building a comfortable, trusting space. We’ll talk through what’s been going on and what you’re hoping will change. I’ll ask some questions to better understand you, but there’s no pressure to share everything all at once. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and a little less alone in it all.
