I specialize in EMDR therapy for trauma, PTSD, and chronic nervous system dysregulation, helping adults recover from overwhelming experiences and regain a sense of safety and control. I work with adults experiencing the lasting impact of trauma, with a focus on first responders, high-stress professionals, & those with complex or chronic trauma histories. EMDR is especially effective for individuals who feel “stuck” in past experiences or who have tried talk therapy but still feel emotionally activated by trauma triggers.

Are you tired of feeling alone navigating your medical conditions? Overwhelmed around keeping track of so many appointments, isolated from the impacts of medical/health trauma, or maybe even physically isolated due to pain and fatigue? You don't have to do it all alone. As someone living with longtime chronic pain and illnesses, I understand the real mental health impacts which come along with living in a struggling body (and, for many of us, a neurodivergent mind). Through therapy, I will actively engage you in gentle reflections and practices to best support your well-being.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals and families navigate the complexities of mental health and relationships. For the past decade, I have worked in a jail setting, where I have gained invaluable experience in crisis management. My work in this challenging environment has honed my skills in de-escalation and conflict resolution, and has taught me the importance of compassion and empathy in even the most difficult of situations. In addition to my work in the jail system, I have also maintained a thriving private practice, where I take an eclectic approach to therapy.
