Maybe you're here because your relationships feel harder than they should, or your anxiety is running the show, or you've realized that old wounds are still shaping how you move through the world today. Or maybe life simply feels heavy right now, and you’re looking for a place to exhale. Whatever brings you to therapy, my goal is to create a space where you can show up fully human — messy thoughts, complicated feelings, dark humor, uncertainty, it's all welcome. My sessions are collaborative, conversational, and grounded in genuine connection; my clients have described our work as warm, insightful, and empowering.
My work focuses on helping adults explore how trauma, grief, anxiety, and chronic stress impact their sense of self, relationships, and daily life. My clients are often navigating identity, communication, life changes, trauma, and the ongoing challenge of being kind to themselves in a world that doesn’t always make that easy. I use EMDR, IFS, DBT, and CBT.
We’ll work toward deeper self-understanding, healthier relationships, and increased resilience. Healing doesn’t need to look perfect or polished — sometimes it looks like setting a boundary for the first time, crying in your car less often, laughing at things again, or finally feeling at home in your own mind. I'd be honored to support you in getting there.
