Are you feeling overwhelmed or exhausted? Do certain patterns in your life seem to persist, causing pain, discomfort, and frustration? Maybe there are past life experiences that feel hard to break free from. Therapy is a helpful tool in seeking relief from the things that hold us back emotionally, and it is my goal for each person who walks through my door to find support, empathy, and clinical expertise to achieve their mental health goals.
I have been a therapist for 10 years and specialize in complex trauma, depression, anxiety, maternal mental health, and emotional regulation issues. I am also EMDR trained. Whether you are suffering from chronic mental health concerns, or more temporary life transitions/stress, I will create a clear plan with you to achieve your therapy goals.
If I have the privilege to work with you, you can expect a warm environment that is focused on establishing safety and comfort within our therapeutic relationship. I use humility, gentle challenging, and humor within my sessions. I would be happy to set up a free consultation to ensure you feel I am a good fit before setting up a first session, if desired.
