My ideal client is an adult who feels stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, or past trauma. They're introspective and ready to go deeper, not just to cope but to truly heal. They may be navigating postpartum struggles, dissociation, or generational trauma, and want to feel more grounded, emotionally regulated, and connected to their true self. Their goal is lasting change: to break old patterns, build self-trust, and live with more clarity and compassion. I do also provide support to future LCSW's applicants for supervision.
I help adults navigate anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, dissociation, and postpartum challenges. Using CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and parts work, I create a supportive, trauma-informed space to explore patterns, build self-trust, and foster lasting emotional change.
I know how hard it can be to take the first step toward therapy, especially when you've been holding so much for so long. You don't have to do it alone. If you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or ready for something to shift, I'm here to help. Reach out when you are ready, and I'd be honored to walk alongside you. Currently accepting new patients.

I often use Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) with patients in my practice. I can be a supportive space for clients just wanting to talk and learn about their nervous system. I offer support in Dialectal Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that is trauma focused.
