Great to meet you!

I’m a warm, grounded, and direct therapist with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, working with teens and adults across a wide range of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, emotional dysregulation, and crisis recovery. I hold a master’s degree and am trained in EMDR and DBT-informed therapy, which I use to help clients process past experiences, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. As a mother of two, I understand firsthand the challenges of balancing life’s responsibilities, relationships, and personal well-being, and I bring that real-world perspective into my work.

My approach to therapy

My therapy style is collaborative, supportive, and honest—clients often describe me as easy to talk to while also helping them stay focused on growth. I provide virtual therapy and work with individuals who are ready to move out of survival mode and into greater stability, clarity, and confidence.

What you can expect from me

Clients often leave sessions with a clearer understanding of their emotions, practical tools to manage stress or overwhelm, and a stronger sense of confidence in navigating life’s challenges. You can expect a space where you feel heard and supported—not judged—as we work together to build coping skills, improve relationships, and shift unhelpful patterns. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more empowered, and more connected to the version of yourself you want to be.
