Are you feeling lost, disconnected, or burdened by past hurt? Do you feel like your sense of self doesn't fit with the life you're living? Maybe you have the self-insight, but find yourself struggling to make lasting change. No matter what you're bringing into the therapy room, I offer space to pause, take a breath, and feel understood as you connect with who you are & where you are in the moment. I work with kids, teens, & adults looking for a safe & nurturing environment to discover, explore, and experiment with living authentically & intentionally. I help clients stuck in reaction-mode become active participants in their lives.
I use Attachment-Focused EMDR Therapy to treat all kinds of trauma, with a focus on childhood abuse. I also help clients with codependency; uncovered family secrets; chronic pain; gender/sexuality exploration; and neurodiversity. With a relational, playful, and collaborative approach, I help clients express how they see the world and view their place in it.
I’m accepting clients of all ages & backgrounds, and offer both in-person & telehealth therapy sessions. Please feel free to reach out for a free 20-minute phone consultation to help you figure out if I'm a good fit for what you want your therapy experience to look like. And if it turns out I'm not the right fit, I'll happily help you find someone who is!

The foundation of my integrative, humanistic, trauma-centered approach to therapy is my unconditional care & compassion for my clients. Our sessions will consist of experimenting, playing, exploring what it's like to be you, and chats that help cultivate trust & rapport. We can also explore the option of EMDR Therapy.
