Great to meet you!

I am here to be your guide so you can embody a greater sense of connection, confidence, and ease within yourself and your relationships. I will create space for you to better understand your current life difficulties, as well as help you connect how your past influences your present. Together, we will help you grow your self-awareness, move forward from past pain, and discover effective ways to thrive in your day-to-day life beyond therapy.

My approach to therapy

I am collaborative, conversational, and straight-forward. I use a trauma-informed lens to help you better understand how the body responds to stress/safety so that you develop curiosity and self-compassion vs. shame/guilt. My sessions utilize mindfulness and values-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) to move forward from limiting beliefs and past traumas.

What you can expect from me

Are you ready for some needed change in your life? Are you ready to put in the work to get there? If so, reach out for yourself today. I will uphold an empathetic and curious space to hear your story and your goals for therapy.
