I support youth, adults, and couples to resolve the effects of past trauma and address issues in the present like anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship issues, and emotional dysregulation. I aim to help clients feel safer and calmer in the present and employ new, more effective strategies in their lives and relationships. I'm formally trained in the use of EMDR and DBT to guide the therapeutic process. I'm passionate about helping people slow down, acknowledge and address deeper issues, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
My approach starts with fostering self-acceptance and understanding of the underlying causes of recurring issues. From there, we move into safely processing past wounds and learning to embrace the inner strengths and outer resources that will support steps towards change.
One of the ways people can keep themselves stuck is by thinking they should manage on their own or that it shows weakness to ask for help. It takes courage to reach out for support and this step alone can kickstart the healing journey. Please contact me for a free phone consultation to find out how I might be able to help meet your needs.

Psychotherapy is covered under most private health insurance plans. While I do direct billing with a few insurance companies, clients covered by insurance most often submit claims for reimbursement on their own.

I take an integrative (using tools from various therapies) and collaborative approach. I think therapy should start with an opportunity to be heard, seen, and understood. We will work together to choose the tools most appropriate to meeting your goals from there. EMDR is my preferred modality where trauma lies beneath current issues.
