Do you feel weighed down by trauma, anxiety, OCD, or depression that makes it hard to enjoy life and relationships? Do you find yourself repeating old patterns, feeling disconnected, or struggling to keep up with daily stress? Many people feel overwhelmed, uncertain, and alone in these challenges—but healing is possible. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to explore your story, release what no longer serves you, and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.
I specialize in trauma (PTSD), anxiety, and OCD treatment for individuals, couples, and families. Using proven approaches like EMDR, IFS, ERP, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, I offer structure, guidance, and compassion. Together, we’ll identify your goals, work through barriers, and create meaningful changes that support your growth.
My passion is helping people find peace and empowerment. Whether it’s healing from trauma, creating stronger relationships, or learning to manage overwhelming emotions, I’m here to guide you with compassion and structure. Reach out today to begin your journey—you don’t have to face these challenges alone.

My primary approaches are Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I integrate DBT skills as needed. In couples work, I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and elements of the Gottman Method. When working with families, I use Structural Family Therapy.
