My ideal client is someone who’s tired of feeling stuck in cycles of pain—whether that looks like trauma, chronic suicidality, relationship struggles, ADHD, OCD, addiction recovery, or the endless loop of anxiety and depression. They want to understand themselves better, stop fighting their own brain, and build relationships that feel safe and real. They’re seeking healing, but also someone who “gets it”—someone who knows life is messy, that humor is a survival skill, and that therapy isn’t about perfection. It’s about creating a life worth living, one step (and sometimes one laugh) at a time.
With over 11 years of experience and training in DBT, CBT, IFS, EFT, Gottman, and systems theory, I bring a tailored, trauma-informed approach to each client. My specialty is helping people untangle the mess of trauma, relationships, and self-doubt so they can feel grounded, empowered, and more at peace with themselves.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming—like picking up the heaviest weight in the room when you’re already exhausted. You don’t have to do it alone. My job is to walk beside you, not ahead of you, with compassion, respect, and a sense of humor when life calls for it. If you’re ready to feel supported, heard, and truly understood, I’d be honored to connect.

I treat trauma, suicidality, ADHD, OCD, addiction, and personality or relationship challenges. Plans combine skills (DBT/CBT) with deeper insight work (IFS/EFT). What's different? I balance structure with warmth—pushing when you're ready, slowing when you need space. Expect tools you can use daily, lasting change, and a therapist who truly "gets it."

I use evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, IFS, EFT, Gottman, and systems theory to create a flexible, tailored approach—not a cookie-cutter plan. Sessions balance skill-building with deeper insight, sprinkled with humor and honesty. You can expect a trauma-informed, safe space where you feel supported and actively engaged in creating real change at your own pace.
