Great to meet you!

I believe in the power of storytelling—not just the stories we tell ourselves, but also those we’ve inherited from others. Understanding these narratives can unlock deeper self-awareness, helping you heal from the past and shape a future that aligns with your values and goals. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you; it’s about guiding you through self-discovery, healing, and growth at your own pace.

My approach to therapy

My approach is holistic and tailored to your unique needs—because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. I incorporate a variety of modalities, including art, writing, play, and evidence-based trauma treatments. As a trained EMDR provider since 2017, and fully certified in 2025, I specialize in helping clients process trauma in a way that feels safe and effective.

What you can expect from me

The first session is about getting to know you and building a trusting therapeutic dynamic that invites collaboration and growth.
