Great to meet you!

Hi, are you feeling stressed, stuck, or lost? Things we experience in childhood often stays with us and changes how we view our world. Whether you delt with abuse, loneliness, or criticism as a child, our minds tend to create a narrative about ourselves as adults. EMDR-trained therapist dedicated to providing compassionate care tailored to each individual's unique needs. I can guide you through harmful memories in a safe and controlled in environment. EMDR works by internal processing so you will not have to have long drawn out conversations of your pain which can be retraumatizing.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, genuine, and collaborative, rooted in the belief that meaningful healing begins within a trusting therapeutic relationship. I incorporate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy alongside other evidence-based approaches to help clients process difficult experiences, heal from trauma, reduce emotional distress, and build resilience. While therapy can involve difficult conversations, I also believe that humor has a place in the healing process and often incorporate humor when it feels appropriate to help you feel more comfortable, connected, and safe.

What you can expect from me

During your first session, we'll take time to get to know one another in a comfortable, supportive environment. I'll gather information about your history, current concerns, and what has brought you to therapy, while also learning about your strengths and the goals you'd like to achieve. Together, we'll begin creating a treatment plan that reflects your unique needs, and if EMDR is an appropriate fit, I'll explain the process and answer any questions you may have.

Most importantly, I want you to know that this is your journey. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to serve as a guide—offering support and insight as we work together toward healing and growth at a pace that feels right for you.
