Great to meet you!
Therapy often begins after years of doing all you can truly to keep moving, even when daily life has started to feel overwhelming. My work goes beyond symptom relief, helping clients reconnect with their minds and bodies, understand what they've been carrying, and create something more sustainable than survival. Healing, I've learned, is something we cultivate together — not something we rush. My approach is evidence-based and attends to the whole person.
EMDR is often where I begin with clients whose trauma still reverberates through daily life — in their relationships, their nervous system, and the patterns that don't respond to insight alone. I draw on DBT and mindfulness to build practical skills for emotional steadiness, and I'm especially passionate about helping clients understand the why behind what they feel. Knowledge, I believe, turns confusion into clarity and shame into self-compassion.
When clients want to bring their spirituality into the room, I welcome it without agenda. Faith and a sense of something larger than ourselves can be powerful tools for self-discovery, and I honor all belief systems with genuine respect.
My style is warm, direct, and transparent. I work with people navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, and the persistent effects of trauma — helping them slow down, find steadiness, and reconnect with themselves at a level that actually shifts things.
Clients often describe me as real — someone who brings equal parts expertise and humanity into the room. I especially love working with women, teens, and neurodivergent adults learning to see their sensitivity and intensity as strengths rather than shortcomings. That reframe alone can change everything.
