Great to meet you!

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood without judgment. My priority is to put you first and create a safe, collaborative environment where you can explore your experiences, build self-understanding, and work toward meaningful growth. I know that many people begin therapy feeling overwhelmed or stuck in painful patterns, and I’m here to help you navigate those challenges at your own pace.

I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, substance use, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, family conflict, and a variety of other life challenges.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based practices. Together, we’ll work to better understand your thoughts, embrace your emotions, and make lasting changes to behaviors that are no longer serving you. My goal is to help you gain insight, develop healthy coping strategies, and build the confidence to move toward the life you want.

I specialize in:

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
  • DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)
  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
  • Cognitive Restructuring (CBT/CR)

Every treatment plan is individualized to meet your unique needs and goals.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your current concerns, and identify what you’d like to accomplish. I’ll ask questions to better understand your background and experiences while ensuring you feel comfortable throughout the process.

I also believe it’s important that you have the chance to determine whether I’m the right therapist for you. If you’d like, we can begin with a free consultation call so we can connect, answer your questions, and see if we’re a good fit before starting therapy.
