Great to meet you!

If you’ve found your way here, you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. You're not alone—and you don't have to figure it out by yourself. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where we can explore what’s holding you back and help you reconnect with your strengths. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, and I tailor therapy to your unique needs using evidence-based approaches like Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and IFS-informed therapy. These methods support deep healing, emotional clarity, and long-term change.

Whether you're coping with painful past experiences, navigating relationship challenges, or just trying to feel more like yourself again, we’ll work together to shift the patterns that no longer serve you. My goal is to help you build resilience, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of hope.

What you can expect from me

In our first session together, we will identify the barriers that prevent you living your most authentic life. Meeting a therapist and sharing your life story can feel vulnerable, but I will guide you with questions that will help you best identify your challenges, goals and strengths. Together, we will create a plan for moving you closer to the life you are seeking.
