My specialty is working with children and adults who feel overwhelmed by behaviors, anxiety, trauma, or emotional challenges they can’t quite name. I focus on helping you learn skills to overall increase functional capacity as well as manage symptoms of your traumas and fears. Whether you're an adult hoping to navigate life's complexities or a child needing a safe space to simply be, I offer support tailored to your needs with compassion and care. Together, we’ll work toward building confidence, resilience, and emotional balance.
I am trained in EMDR, PCIT, and Trauma-Informed care. We will work together to utilize these specialized techniques to help with overcoming your struggles. I provide structured, compassionate therapy that fosters safety and emotional validation to guide clients toward healing, growth, and meaningful progress each week.
I offer a safe and supportive space to begin your healing journey, meeting you where you are and working at the speed that feels right for you. You're welcome to reach out anytime, and if I'm unavailable, please leave a message. I'll respond as soon as possible with care and compassion.
