Great to meet you!

You’ve held it together for a long time, but lately it feels like you’re running on fumes. On the outside, you manage. On the inside, you’re tired—maybe from old trauma, ongoing stress, or the effects of ADHD that make everything harder than it looks.

I specialize in helping adults—especially professionals, first responders, and veterans—process trauma, untangle childhood wounds, and move toward meaningful self-acceptance. You don’t need to have it all figured out to start. You just need to be willing to show up honestly.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, direct, and compassionate. I meet clients where they are, working at their pace while gently challenging patterns that no longer serve them. I use IFS, EMDR, and CBT to help clients process deeply, understand themselves, and move toward lasting self-acceptance. Therapy with me is collaborative, grounded, and real.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling more emotionally unburdened, self-aware, and grounded. Over time, they gain clarity about their patterns, tools to manage overwhelm, and a deeper connection to themselves. My goal is for each session to move you closer to lasting change, inner peace, and self-acceptance.
