You know those thoughts that say "I'm not worthy," or "I'm not good enough?" It is time to remember that you are a human first, and that you deserve to have space to feel safe in exploring the most authentic version of yourself and realize that is way more than "not good enough."

Life is for bringing our brightness into being, yet we may carry emotional burdens that block joy and comfort. We may feel stuck in “ways of being” that no longer serve us, experience an unrelenting “inner critic”, or alone and distant from others and our own inner light. I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relational issues, or challenges with self-esteem/self confidence, and seeking to change behaviors and patterns not getting them the results they want.

Life is hard enough without feeling like you have to shrink yourself to fit in. When you’re seen as different, the world can be a tough, lonely, and exhausting place. It can leave you carrying shame, anxiety, fear, or sadness, and wondering if there’s space for you. Let me reassure you: there is. You don’t have to go it alone. Your well-being shouldn't require you to play small or pretend to be someone you're not. You deserve a space where your full, messy, radiant, complicated self is welcome.

Therapy is a wonderful opportunity for personal growth. It is also helpful in overcoming common symptoms such as anxiety and depression, for improving relationships and for changing behaviors that may hinder quality of life. It is common to experience hesitation or ambivalence when starting therapy, much like many other new beginnings. I encourage you to try. People frequently report feeling better just by taking the first step of calling and making a first appointment. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which, together, we will explore, understand and conquer the obstacles you have encountered in your journey.

Healing Through EMDR and Integrative Therapy-
Trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and life stressors can feel overwhelming—but they don’t have to define your life. In my experience as a psychotherapist, I have found EMDR to be an effective and powerful approach that provides safe, compassionate relief from emotional suffering. Whether you’re navigating deep-rooted trauma or the stressors of daily life, finding a Certified EMDR Therapist who is trauma- and dissociation-informed is essential for effective healing.
My goal is to offer you compassionate, informed therapy that meets you where you are.

I work with individuals who've lived with a persistent sense of dread—fear of rejection, failure, or disaster. For many, anxiety has been a long-standing companion, often intensifying during times of change. Many reach out, tired of this pattern, seeking more than symptom management, and wanting to understand the root of their anxiety. For some, early experiences of being unprotected or unheard have shaped how they view the world. Anxiety makes sense when you’ve felt small and alone. For others, a stressful present environment may fuel that sense of unease. Anxiety functions to keep you alert in a precarious situation.

Do you have difficulty hearing your preferences? Experiencing joy? Are you doing all the “right” things yet still feeling anxious and empty? Oftentimes, in our efforts to stay safe, we wall off the parts of ourselves that seem unacceptable or extraneous. Over time, as we lose touch with our true essences, we look outside ourselves for answers and validation, and life ends up feeling stressful and meaningless. I am trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Sensorimotor Therapy, modalities that can help you go deeper and effectively process the trauma and beliefs that are obscuring your unique path to joy and connection.
