My interest lies in working with individuals who isolate, have lost interest in the things they once enjoyed, and/or who think this world would be better off without them. I'm also interested in working with individuals who are tired of worrying, or want to be more social. And last, but not least, I take interest in working with individuals who “just want to be normal,” who can’t sleep for fear of having another nightmare, or who feel damaged because of a violation of their personal safety. In summary, I am interested in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and PTSD/trauma.

I believe nothing is “wrong” with a person who experiences pain or suffering, or who isn't positive all of the time, because pain is a normal part of being human. I practice a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients learn how to experience difficult thoughts and emotions without suppressing them, in order to make decisions that align with what's most important to you. I believe you can build a fulfilling life no matter what has happened to you. I additionally practice EMDR to help individuals safely reprocess traumatic experiences. I am an EMDR Certified Therapist.

Life can look “fine” on the outside while feeling overwhelming on the inside. You might be juggling work, relationships, family responsibilities, and expectations — all while carrying a constant undercurrent of worry or self-doubt. Maybe you find yourself overthinking conversations, feeling responsible for everyone else’s emotions, or wondering why you can’t “just relax” and enjoy things the way you used to.
I work with adults who feel stretched thin, anxious, or stuck in patterns that leave them feeling unseen, unheard, or emotionally exhausted.
