Great to meet you!

I genuinely believe in our ability to heal, and working as a therapist and being a human has taught me that healing can be found via many avenues. I enjoy working with clients collaboratively to address the roadblocks to have greater fulfillment in their lives. Taking the first step can be scary but so important! Reach out today if you'd like to start planning and working toward the life you'd like.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy attempts to involve the whole person's mind, body, and spirit. I work from a trauma-informed, attachment-informed lens that avoids blame and shame but encourages growth, accountability, reflection, and acceptance of the self! I utilize EMDR, CBT, attachment-informed, and feminist frameworks to empower clients who sometimes have lost hope. Healing shouldn't be for the elite few, and it is for all.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a thorough initial assessment evaluating essential areas of life and have a clearer picture of their baseline functioning and goals for therapeutic work. I believe that structuring the work gives you more freedom to be flexible. Clients can expect a respectful, open environment to explore all their parts.
