Accepting new clients! Anxiety, trauma, or feeling overwhelmed? You do not have to carry it alone. You might look like you’re holding it together—but inside, you feel anxious or exhausted. I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, and the emotional impact of chronic illness, helping them feel more grounded and in control. Using EMDR, CBT, and DBT, we’ll actively work toward change. I bring a warm, real, and non-judgmental approach shaped by both clinical training and lived experience. You don’t have to do this alone. If you want a feel for my approach, you can find me on TikTok (diabetictherapist).
I use EMDR, CBT, and DBT to support clients working through trauma, anxiety, grief, mood challenges, substance use, and personality-related patterns. I take a flexible, collaborative approach and tailor therapy to each person’s needs, focusing on meaningful, practical change.
Reaching out can be hard, but is a necessary first step. If you or a loved one are struggling, please do not hesitate to reach out to me to assess fit and therapy goals. It is time to put yourself first. I hope to hear from you soon. If you want to know more about me, you can find me on TikTok (diabetictherapist).

I primarily work with adults and youth experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder, trauma symptoms, depression and anxiety. Using a trauma-informed approach, treatment begins with information gathering on presenting concerns. A treatment plan is made collaboratively with you, aimed at targeting these issues. Sessions can be in person or virtual, at your convenience.
