You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel helpful. You might be carrying the weight of past experiences, trauma, relationship stress, or struggles with substance use or emotional regulation. You may be seeking relief, clarity, and growth, while also wanting a space that feels safe, supportive, and free of judgment. Therapy doesn’t require you to have everything figured out—I’m here to support you, help you feel understood, and walk alongside you as you move toward healing.
I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, trauma and PTSD, substance use addiction, sex addiction, relationship challenges, and emotional regulation difficulties. I am EMDR trained and use an integrative approach with CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, and inner child work to support lasting change.
Starting therapy takes courage, and it’s normal to feel unsure or hesitant. You don’t have to face your challenges alone. I offer a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where we move at your pace. If you’re ready to explore, understand yourself, and create meaningful change, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.

I use EMDR and other evidence-based approaches to support clients. In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and create a plan that fits your needs. I help you understand how thoughts, emotions, and experiences connect and teach strategies to shift unhelpful patterns and feel more in control.
