I know that growth and change aren’t always easy, and I’m so glad you’ve taken this first step by reaching out for support. I believe therapy is most effective when it’s built on a genuine, compassionate relationship, and I love working with individuals who are ready to take an active role in their healing journey. Even if you’re struggling to recognize your worth right now or feel uncertain about your purpose, I believe every person has the capacity for healing, growth, and meaningful change.
I take an integrative approach to therapy, blending evidence-based trauma treatments with relational and practical skill-building to support meaningful, lasting change while building upon your unique strengths. I have specialized training in several evidence-based trauma modalities, including EMDR, IFS, and DBT-informed approaches.
I work with teens, adults, and couples navigating a wide range of concerns, with a special interest in dissociative disorders, ADHD, OCD, and complex trauma. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to explore your experiences without judgment.
