Welcome to my page! I am excited to work with clients that feel they are ready for a change! I work with clients who are ready to gain insight about themselves - their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and are ready for to acknowledge the struggles and patterns they can’t seem to change. An ideal client: Are open to reflection, Are willing to learn new skills, Are tired of the same cycles and ready to do the inner work, Value honesty, compassion, and growth, Want practical support as well as emotional understanding, They don’t need to have everything figured out — just a willingness to explore, process, and grow at their own pace.
I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, and trauma, including complex trauma, relational wounding, attachment disruptions, and single-incident traumatic events. I am trained in EMDR and incorporate it as one of several evidence-based approaches to support healing, nervous-system regulation, and resilience.
I look forward to hearing from you to see if this is a good fit! If you choose to work with me, you can expect a supportive yet thoughtful environment where your story is honored, your goals are centered, and your healing process is respected at every step.
