When life feels overwhelming, isolating, and unfair, it can be difficult to find someone you can trust to safely process challenging emotions and develop effective coping strategies. I provide a non-judgmental, trauma-informed, and collaborative approach that is strengths-based and person-centered. My work integrates EMDR, DBT, and Narrative Therapy, and I am always open to tailoring the approach to your preferences. I've seen incredible results with EMDR and love helping my clients identify their strengths while building momentum and confidence in reaching both small and larger goals along the way.
I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals facing a wide range of struggles. Challenging negative beliefs and narratives we’re stuck in, while working to build more positive self-beliefs, is a key part of the process. I view the therapeutic space as a sacred trust, and I am deeply honored by the courage, resilience, and perseverance of my client
Finding meaning, purpose, and fulfillment is a journey of discovery—and sometimes, rediscovery. I encourage you to reach out for a free consultation to see if we might be a good fit. I’d love to connect with you, explore the negative beliefs you may be stuck in, and work together to build positive ones while identifying your strengths and areas of struggle.

I primarily use EMDR, DBT, and Narrative approaches, working from an eclectic style that incorporates elements from various modalities. Focusing more on EMDR, which starts by exploring the beliefs you hold about yourself and how they've been shaped by your life experiences. In EMDR, we work to dismantle negative beliefs and traumatic memories, helping you adopt more empowering, preferred beliefs.
