Sometimes life is like putting furniture together: you have all the pieces, but it can be confusing to know where to start or how to fit everything together. The instructions can be unclear. You may be grappling with self-acceptance, feeling in control, interpersonal conflict, or the weight of past experiences. You need a space to understand yourself better and find your voice, and you desire a path toward a more fulfilling life—one where you can embrace your true identity and move beyond feelings of shame.
I view therapy as a collaborative project. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)—like having a well-stocked toolbox tailored to your unique needs. Together, we can select the right tools to address both your challenges and aspirations.
I admire the strength it has taken you to begin to seek support. My experience in the field for the last decade has shown me the incredible strength that lies within you. I’m here to work alongside you so that you can build the life you know you deserve. So, if you’re ready to pick up the right tools to build healing and growth, I invite you to reach out.

I am trained in EMDR. I offer this in addition to CBT. My approach is to start with getting to know you, and building a solid toolbox full of resources for you to regulate your nervous system before we dig into more painful and difficult work together.
