I am EMDR trained and offer support to adults and couples with a specialization in pregnancy, prenatal, postpartum, and infertility support. I help parents through the profound and transformative journey of pregnancy and individuals and couples navigating life’s challenges with compassion and curiosity by focusing on the root of your issues. Therapy can be a space to explore your experience and move toward greater clarity and ease. You may be navigating relationship dynamics, major life transitions, or the deep work of healing past wounds—I am here to support you in finding your own path forward.

My approach is compassionate and evidence-based as well as client-centered and strengths-based. This means I seek to empower you as a client to be the driver as I walk alongside your healing journey as a guide.

The most powerful sessions are those where you leave with clear, actionable steps that empower you on your healing journey. I believe therapy should be more than just a space to talk—it should also be a catalyst for meaningful action and personal growth.

I often use EMDR, mindfulness, somatic resourcing, and art therapy to support healing and self-discovery. Our sessions are collaborative, allowing us to explore emotions, process trauma, and develop self-compassion at a pace that feels safe for you. Together, we'll build resilience, alignment, and a sense of ease in navigating life's challenges.
