My ideal clients are adolescents, adults, and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, often after long periods of stress, responsibility, or adversity. Many are first responders, military members, men, or professionals who are used to coping on their own, but now find trauma, anxiety, burnout, depression, or relationship strain affecting their school, work, health, or relationships. They are seeking more than short-term relief, they want clarity, stability, and meaningful, sustainable change that helps them feel more grounded, connected, and capable in their lives.

With over a decade of experience in mental health, I work with individuals who feel stuck in patterns that aren’t changing—often despite previous insight and reflection. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware, and are looking for deeper, lasting change, particularly in relationships, emotional patterns, or ways of coping. Together we work to understand and shift the deeper emotional and relational patterns that keep you feeling stuck. I integrate depth psychology and EMDR to support the processing of trauma and unresolved experiences, helping shift patterns that can be difficult to change.
