Finding inner peace, embracing self-compassion, and healing from trauma and loss are deeply personal and meaningful journeys. Reaching out for support—especially for the first time—is an incredibly brave step, and I have profound respect for the courage it takes. I know this transition can feel significant, and my hope is to make you feel welcomed, safe, and truly cared for from the very first moment. Therapy is, at its heart, about safety, trust, and knowing that you are deeply heard. Together, we’ll take the time to understand what matters most to you and find the best way to support your path forward.
As an evidence based, trauma-informed clinician, I have specialized training in approaches like EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with a relational, perspective to help you heal. Whether you’re navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, or a major life/relationship change, these tools are here to support you.
If you are looking for a safe, accepting and nurturing space to process and integrate these experiences or struggling with anxious or depressive thoughts, difficulty navigating relationships or history of abuse, reach out and we will explore together to help you approach yourself with more care and acceptance. Please see my website for more information.

Clients have been through a lot and taking time to slow down and improve self awareness is the first step. It may take a few sessions to figure out what you need, but I have had enough years of experience and training that I believe we can figure out a path together. We will discuss what the issues are and the ways therapy can provide some relief.

In the first few sessions, we will work together to build trust and an understanding of what your needs are. EMDR and CPT can be used to address the traumatic memories keeping you stuck. These modalities can also be useful for anxiety and depression more generally or other forms of therapy like CBT or relational therapy to work through negative thought patterns or attachment issues.
