• EMDR • Somatic • Clarity • Purposeful • Personal Growth • Lasting Change • Sessions with me don’t feel like traditional therapy sessions. They're honest conversations about real life. We focus on what actually matters, cut through the noise, and work toward outcomes you can see, feel, and measure. You’ll leave sessions more confident and better equipped to handle what brought you here. The work is purposeful, the expectations are real, and progress is celebrated. And while we take your goals seriously, life is far too short to take ourselves too seriously. Laughter is part of the process. So is momentum. Expect both.
My work is informed by decades of experience in advocacy, alternative health, and private practice, supporting individuals and families through nuanced personal and professional challenges using evidence-based methods applied thoughtfully and with discernment. Please see my website or LinkedIn for additional insights into how I meet my clients' needs.
Clients often share that they genuinely look forward to our sessions, even when navigating difficult circumstances. They know I am invested in their progress and am firmly in their corner throughout their work. A strong therapeutic alliance is central for meaningful change, which is built through my continued support and authentic, grounded connection.

I don't box myself into narrow, outdated, or templated theoretical models as nobody is one-size-fits-all. Most of us want to feel better and build a life that works. Instead, to move clients toward their goals, I evaluate the whole person taking into account their ways of learning, their current needs, and their comfort level in how fast or slow they want to move forward.

The first sessions are spent getting to know one another. It is imperative that clients trust their therapist as they will be sharing parts of themselves that may bring up feelings of guilt, shame, and underlying trauma which clients often struggle to discuss. Theoretical approaches are important, but most important to successful therapy is the client's therapeutic alliance with their therapist.
