I work with adolescent and adult clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, familial issues, trauma, ADHD, eating disorders, and suicidality. The clients I work with primarily want a therapeutic approach that consists of evidence-based modalities mixed with empathy, compassion, nonjudgmental stance, authenticity, and being person-centered. Whether their goal is to have a space to process and work through trauma, vent and find ways to cope with and navigate life stressors, or have someone to talk to, I do my best to meet my clients where they're at.

I specialize in trauma and insight-based process work. I am fully trained in EMDR Therapy, along with training and experience in ACT, DBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness, and other trauma and evidence-based modalities. My therapy dog, Mila, also joins me for sessions to provide pet therapy and additional support in the therapeutic setting!

Coming to therapy can be extremely difficult and daunting, especially if it's your first time. No matter where you're at in your mental health journey, I can help you work towards gaining insight and building self-awareness through authentic connection and a warm therapeutic alliance. If you think we might be a good fit, please reach out! :)
