If you’re feeling the weight of trauma, unhealthy relationship patterns, or inner conflict, our work together can offer the steadiness and connection you’ve been looking for. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when you're constantly on alert or when emotions shift quickly and intensely. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels safe, using approaches like EMDR, DBT, and trauma-informed CBT to help you make sense of your experiences and strengthen your sense of self. I’m especially passionate about working with LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent clients, and I strive to create a space that feels affirming.
I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex trauma, Borderline Personality Disorder, anxiety, and depression. I also help couples heal and strengthen their relationship. My background includes crisis response and over five years in community mental health, where I’ve walked alongside individuals through some of their most challenging moments.
Therapy with me is about connection, growth, and helping you feel more grounded and capable in your life. You don’t have to navigate this alone - I’m here to walk alongside you without judgment, offering steady support as you move toward healing and clarity that feels right for you.
