Whether you’re going through a big life change, dealing with anxiety or depression, exploring identity, adjusting to a new diagnosis, or just trying to get through a tough season, you deserve support that meets you where you are. My approach is direct but compassionate, using EMDR, CBT, and a person-centered style to help guide the process. We’ll figure out what matters most to you and take it step by step, so you can feel more grounded and better able to navigate what’s in front of you.
I primarily use Person-Centered Therapy and EMDR in my work. I love helping clients build a toolbox to manage and navigate their anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. My current studies and training are centered on cognitive reframing.
Starting counseling can bring up a lot of feelings, and it’s okay if it feels a little uncomfortable at first. I’m here to listen, support you, and walk alongside you as you figure things out at your own pace.

As a PLPC, I'm not able to accept insurance just yet. I do offer a sliding scale when it's needed, and we can talk through your situation to find something that feels manageable and fair for you.

I use a mix of CBT, EMDR, IFS, and a person-centered style to help you make sense of what you're feeling, work through what's been weighing you down, and get to know the different parts of yourself with more compassion. We'll go at your pace and focus on what actually feels helpful for you.
