Great to meet you!

I am a dedicated mental health therapist with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and find healing. I specialize in working with clients facing trauma, adverse experiences, depression, and anxiety. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you feel empowered to explore your experiences and work toward meaningful change. I understand that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, and I strive to make the process approachable, collaborative, and effective.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is warm, compassionate, and client-centered. I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as a powerful tool to help clients process distressing memories and reduce the emotional impact of past experiences. I also incorporate evidence-based techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices to support emotional regulation and overall well-being. I believe therapy should be a collaborative journey, tailored to your unique needs and goals.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools for managing their symptoms and navigating life’s challenges. My goal is to help you build resilience, gain insight into your thoughts and behaviors, and develop strategies that promote lasting emotional wellness. Whether you are working through trauma, managing anxiety, or seeking personal growth, my focus is on empowering you to live a more balanced and fulfilling life.
