Great to meet you!

Having gone through immense medical trauma, PTSD, care takers depression and paralyzing grief, I relate to my clients on a deeper level. Providing a safe space to process the heavy things in life is my priority.

My approach to therapy

Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Somatic Experiencing-informed techniques are typically the approaches I use to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and nervous system responses influence their daily lives.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is all about getting to know you as a person, not just the challenges that brought you to therapy. We'll explore what matters most to you, what brings you joy, what inspires you, and the strengths you've relied on throughout your life. Building a trusting, comfortable relationship is priority.
