I work with survivors of trauma—including those reclaiming their lives after domestic violence—and first responders who carry the weight of their experiences. My own lived experience gives me a deep understanding of what it means to regain your voice. I also enjoy working with individuals connected to the criminal justice system, offering a compassionate space where judgment is replaced with understanding. My mission is to help you rediscover your strength, break free from what’s holding you back, and step into the life you were meant to live. Together, we’ll work to build a future that's full of balance, purpose, and hope.
I help adults process trauma, challenge negative thoughts, and rebuild confidence after experiences like childhood trauma, gender violence, depression, and anxiety. My approach is warm, direct, and honest—with a bit of humor. Together, we’ll unpack and process the past, build real tools for growth, and help you reclaim your voice and confidence.
You deserve a life that actually feels good—not just one you’re surviving. I’m here to help you get there. I’ll listen, challenge you when needed, and remind you that it’s absolutely okay to ask for help. Together, we’ll work toward a version of you that feels grounded, peaceful, and truly joyful—because healing isn’t about perfection, it’s about progress.

The style of therapy used is dependent on what a person is experiencing. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy to assist survivors of trauma with reducing negative thoughts and emotions that stem from their trauma. I also use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to assist individuals in improving their coping skills and take control of their emotions.
