You may appear all together on the outside but anxiety, past experiences, relationship strain, or chronic stress is keeping you out of balance. If this sounds familiar, you're in the right place! I work with teens, adults, and couples who want therapy that is inclusive, grounded, compassionate, and practical.
I look at your whole picture, no one lives on an island alone, everything around you influences and affects you everyday. I’m also EMDR-trained and offer trauma-focused therapy that prioritizes safety, pacing, and collaboration. I also provide counseling for couples, often using PREPARE/ENRICH to strengthen communication and deepen connections.
My approach is inclusive, non-judgmental and relational. You won’t be told what to feel or who to be—we’ll work together to understand patterns, build regulation skills, and create meaningful, sustainable change. If you’re looking for a therapist who is steady, relational, trauma-informed, and genuinely invested in your care, I’d be honored to work with you.
