I welcome all populations of clients to my office. I am specifically passionate about supporting high-achieving women and mothers who may struggle with people-pleasing in relationships. It is one of my greatest honors to help women navigate the challenges of marriage, relational dynamics, and divorce. I also support both men and women in exploring how past trauma can develop into depression, anxiety, codependency, grief, and body and health issues.
My style of therapy is relational-focused, ensuring we establish a collaborative environment that feels safe and comfortable for you. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help my clients work through trauma and life by understanding our adaptive and maladaptive behaviors and attachment history.
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou Sometimes, our most challenging experiences in life can also be catalysts for change, growth, and healing. Your story matters. Let's talk.

As a trauma-focused mental health therapist trained in EMDR, I create a safe, collaborative space to help you explore what brought you to therapy. Together, we'll gently process experiences at your pace, reducing the emotional charge of past trauma. Along the way, we'll clarify your personal goals, whether that's relief from anxiety, healthier relationships, or greater self-trust.
