I believe therapy should be deep enough to create real change, but practical enough to use in real life. I'm here to help you get to the heart of your problem and teach you skills to improve the quality of your life. Maybe you've gone through trauma, maybe you're going through stess and anxiety, maybe it's depression. With over 15 years of experience in the helping profession, I'm here to help.
On the outside, things may look “fine,” but internally you're struggling.
You're pushing through while feeling disconnected, irritable, or stuck in your head. Together, we'll heal the hurt.
Besides clinically proven methods of DBT and CBT, I offer Brainspotting and Flash, a type of EMDR, to get to your issues, whether trauma, depression, anxiety or stress.
My approach is supportive, grounded, and practical. We work together to reduce anxiety, build emotional resilience, and create changes that actually fit your real life.
I believe healing starts with feeling safe, supported, and understood. I walk alongside my clients as they navigate life’s changes—helping them uncover strengths, build resilience, and grow with confidence. When you’re ready, reach out and let’s take the next steps together. Life can be challenging, Let's get you "unstuck"!
