Offering a holistic approach to psychotherapy, I provide a place for individuals who are struggling with stress and anxiety, grief or bereavement, depression, self esteem or relationship issues as well as many other challenges that we deal with daily. I will guide individuals to empower themselves and regain control over their lives. By exploring areas that are no longer serving you I will work with you to unravel the negative patterns that create barriers and move toward discovering awareness, balance and reconnection.

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck? Unresolved trauma can show up in many ways — from anxiety and low self-esteem to relationship struggles and chronic stress. I offer trauma-informed, culturally responsive care and specialize in EMDR, a therapy approach that goes beyond traditional talk therapy to help you truly resolve your problems and move forward with your life. Alongside EMDR, I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches. Whether you're healing from trauma, burnout, grief or facing other life challenges, I will support you in taking meaningful steps toward positive and lasting change.

My approach to therapy is warm, non-judgmental, and deeply collaborative. I want clients to feel like they can show up exactly as they are; messy, curious, unsure, hopeful, or anything in between. I work from a trauma-informed lens and believe healing happens when people feel safe, understood, and supported rather than analyzed or “fixed”.

Accepting new clients with daytime availability! I connect with clients who want to create meaningful change and are curious about their internal world. You may be reflective, open to insight, and ready to explore the emotional experiences and personal stories shaping your sense of self. We may focus on anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, self-doubt, identity, relationships, grief, stress, or the impact of trauma. Together, we slow things down, explore emotions with compassion, and gently shift unhelpful patterns—supporting a more profound sense of calm, self-worth, meaning, and belonging.
