Do you feel disconnected from yourself or others? Have you had a life transition, trauma or adversity and you're trying to figure out how to cope? Has your sleep, mood or daily functioning been impacted? Perhaps you're struggling with anxiety, relationships, parenting/caregiving stress, low self-esteem, or addictive behaviors and feel ready to prioritize your own needs. I believe positive change is always possible! I’m a dedicated and experienced therapist committed to guiding you on a journey towards healing. I offer a safe space to process thoughts, feelings and experiences, and develop increased capacity for positive growth.
We start by exploring the challenges you’re facing, and create an individualized plan and goals for therapy. I specialize in treating and managing anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, adverse childhood experiences, grief/loss, relational problems, ADHD, and other important life issues. I incorporate helpful skills and approaches like EMDR, IFS, ACT, and CBT.
Please know that you don't need to face your struggles alone. As a compassionate therapist with extensive training and lived experience, I'm here to collaborate with you on your journey towards positive growth and mental wellbeing. Please review my website and contact me to schedule a consultation or first session. I look forward to connecting with you.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, grief or trauma related to their family, relationships, parenting, life transitions, or neurodiversity. During our initial sessions, we explore the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms initially and sustained improvement thereafter.

I'm an EMDR Certified therapist, and also use IFS, EFT and CBT. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you into therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With EMDR, we naturally activate the emotional healing process using bilateral stimulation (eye movements or tapping) to resolve and transform emotional wounds to more adaptive thoughts and feelings.
