Great to meet you!

I work with adolescents, young adults and adults. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, difficult memories from the past, or feeling like you are not enough, I'm here to help. Therapy is a process in which we connect to our deeper selves to create meaningful changes that will work to move you toward wholeness and connection. I am here to join you on that journey as we work together to bring more understanding, peace and function to your life and relationships.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative and relies on safety and trust. I provide a space where you are free to explore and express your authentic self, including your disjointed parts. I work from a trauma-informed framework to support all who are struggling with painful life experiences. I incorporate a number of therapeutic styles to fit the needs of my clients as their lives change and different needs arise. I am also certified in EMDR therapy to support processing trauma.

What you can expect from me

I understand that choosing to start therapy can be stressful, therefore it is my goal to help you create a space that is your own, in which you can process life’s struggles, deepen your relationship to yourself and others and create a more whole life. My hope is for clients to walk away from therapy having more understanding of themselves as well as finding support to create a fulfilling and meaningful life.
