If you are feeling overwhelmed as you navigate life challenges, feel triggered or stuck in past experiences, struggle with self criticism, perfectionism, or the adjustment of a new identity/role or a loss you’ve experienced, it’d be my pleasure to support you. Together, we will explore what your therapy journey may include. I offer a non-judgmental space where I encourage you to show up exactly as you are. If you are interested in reducing the emotional intensity of triggers, in need of processing a difficult loss or experience, want to reduce self-criticism, or build capacity to better understand and tolerate emotions- welcome!
I work from a trauma informed and attachment-based model to help explore underlying root influences of experience. I use a strengths-based, collaborative approach that empowers the skills, knowledge, and capabilities you bring to session. I want to support you in the journey, where you are, making needed connections back to self towards a meaningful relief.
If you feel ready to take the next step but notice some feelings of uncertainty - that's completely understandable! I encourage you to reach out with any questions or to schedule a free consultation. I believe everyone is deserving of support and to not feel alone in their experience. It takes courage to reach out and I warmly welcome you!

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. EMDR can be a helpful tool in reprocessing memories and enabling the movement through trauma that are impacting abilities to be fully present today.
