Great to meet you!

I work with adults who are navigating trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the everyday stress that can make it difficult to feel like themselves. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns they want to change. Others are looking for support in healing from past experiences, improving focus and organization, building healthier relationships, or developing more effective coping skills.

My approach to therapy

My approach is personalized because I believe there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing. I use evidence-based therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, to meet you where you are and support your individual goals. Together, we'll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical coping strategies, strengthen emotional regulation skills, and work toward lasting improvements in your overall well-being.

What you can expect from me

Whether you're seeking relief from difficult symptoms, processing painful experiences, or working toward personal growth, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we'll focus on building the skills, confidence, and insight needed to help you move forward with greater balance, resilience, and hope.
