Therapist

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, with 14 years of experience supporting adults through meaningful personal growth and healing. I provide a compassionate, neurodiversity-affirming space where clients can explore their inner world, develop resilience, and build deeper connections — with themselves and others.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling and enjoy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Attachment-Based Therapy. These evidence-based approaches allow me to support clients in processing trauma, understanding emotional patterns, and fostering lasting change from the inside out.
