If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low self-worth, trauma, or relationship struggles, you’re not alone. Maybe you're a parent navigating conflict, a teen feeling unheard, or part of a couple wanting to reconnect. You might be searching for clarity, peace, or just a space to feel understood. Whatever you're facing, therapy can help you heal, grow, and reconnect—with yourself and those around you. I'm here to support you.
I help clients with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, and self-esteem. Using DBT, CBT, EMDR, Polyvagal, Somatic, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness, and Gottman methods, I offer a trauma-informed, supportive space to build insight, regulate emotions, and grow — individually, as a couple, or as a family.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating — especially if you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. I want you to know that whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to go through it alone. Together, we can explore what’s been weighing you down, build tools that support lasting change, and work toward a life that feels more connected and meaningful.

I often use a blend of DBT, Polyvagal and Psychodynamic approaches in my practice. In your first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy and begin to uncover how your nervous system responses and unconscious patterns influence your emotions and relationships. Together, we will work to build insight, regulate emotions, and foster lasting healing in a safe, supportive space.
