Great to meet you!

I work with individuals and families who have gone through various types of trauma, such as childhood neglect, sexual abuse, or other forms of psychological harm. Trauma symptoms can make us feel stuck or can appear when we hear a familiar song, smell a specific scent, or experience certain emotions without a clear memory or visual trigger. Together, we will focus on creating safety and building connections to help guide you on your path to healing.

My approach to therapy

My approach focuses on meeting you with compassion and without judgment, while working together to find paths toward healing and growth. I have a laid-back style and am genuine, transparent, and straightforward. I also believe I’m funny at times and bring humor into the session to make it more enjoyable.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave each session feeling heard, supported, and empowered. Together, we’ll work to build practical tools for coping, develop deeper self-awareness, and identify patterns that may be holding you back. My goal is to create a space where you can safely explore your thoughts and emotions, gain clarity, and begin to make meaningful progress toward healing and personal growth.
