I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and nationally certified therapist with advanced training in trauma-informed care and ADHD treatment. I enjoy working with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and ADHD, and I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable and understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based therapies such as CBT and EMDR. I tailor each session to your unique needs, integrating tools like inner child work, mindfulness, DBT skills, and psychoeducation when helpful. I aim to support you in building practical skills, gaining insight, and creating meaningful, lasting change.
