I believe healing takes courage and you don’t have to do it alone. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to make meaningful changes in their lives. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, carrying the weight of past trauma, or struggling to reconnect in your relationships, I’m here to support you with compassion and clarity. As a trauma-informed therapist trained in EMDR, I help clients explore what’s holding them back so they can move forward with confidence. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy should be a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported.
I also know how important it is to feel supported right from the first point of contact. I pride myself on being a responsive therapist who communicates clearly and gets back to clients quickly. Reaching out for help is a big step, and I do my best to honor that by making sure you’re not left waiting or wondering. Email is the best way to get in contact!
Together, we’ll work toward clarity and resilience. We’ll uncover your strengths, develop practical tools, and build a foundation for lasting growth. If you’re looking for a therapist who honors your story while helping you write your next chapter, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
