I approach our work together with the belief that meaningful change begins by recognizing what’s working and honestly exploring what needs to shift. I use a goal-oriented and strengths-based lens, helping you build on your existing resilience while developing new strategies to move forward with intention. I always lead with compassion, as this is hard and brave work to do. I believe that at the heart of much of this work is grief—not always grief from a death, but often unspoken grief that comes with change. Any time we grow, whether we’re navigating relationships, identity, transitions, etc., there is a kind of loss.

Are you someone who knows "what" you want but often gets stuck when it comes to taking action? You’re not alone. Fear to launch is a struggle for many people. You clearly envision your goals such as making a significant life change, but the “how” of getting there feels difficult to attain. That’s where I come in. I specialize in helping individuals who have a clear idea of what they want but struggle with starting the process. Struggles may include building better habits, navigating a major transition, grieving a bad breakup or addressing long-standing issues. My role is to work alongside you on this journey by providing guidance.

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck—whether due to past trauma, overwhelming anxiety, depression, negative thought patterns, or a sense that something just isn’t right. They may struggle with self-esteem, emotional regulation, or relationships, and they’re ready to explore what’s holding them back. They want to feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their lives. What they need is a space where they feel safe, understood, and empowered to move forward. Through EMDR, CBT, and person-centered therapy, we work together to uncover the root of your pain, shift unhelpful beliefs, and create lasting emotional change.

Starting therapy can feel just as overwhelming and uncertain, like stepping into the unknown. My approach is supportive and non-judgmental. I hold space so you can feel safe to open up. However, I also believe in the power of gently challenging my clients. Because I believe that growth comes from a place of both comfort and courage, and I’m committed to supporting you as you begin making meaningful change. I firmly believe that many of the challenges we face are rooted in self-protection, which has helped us cope in the past. Sometimes these habits and ways of being continue to serve us, while at other times they hold us back.

Starting therapy can be overwhelming, especially during times of acute stress. I bring a strengths-based, humanistic approach to all sessions, and I tailor treatment strategies based on each individual's needs, preferences and circumstances. Nobody knows you better than yourself, so I prioritize collaboration with each of my clients to ensure therapy with me is beneficial. At the end of each session, I collaborate with you to set an achievable goal for the week to encourage ongoing therapeutic growth beyond our sessions. Together, we can get you where you want to be!

I believe what and how much you put into therapy that you are going to get out of therapy and treatment; Which truly goes with just about anything and everything in life. If you give it all you got, then you are bound to get to where you want to go and ultimately even how you choose to feel. We don't always get a choice in life, yet we are able to change how we think and look at what is in front of us and if it doesn't align with who you are and what you want, then I am here to help you along the way to become the best version of you and assist with you in achieving and feeling your best self including emotions & being as a whole..

You may be carrying the weight of past experiences, constant stress, or self-doubt that keeps you from feeling like yourself. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, exhausted from holding it all together or struggling to find meaning after loss, trauma, or burnout. They’re high-functioning on the outside but anxious, disconnected, or unsure how to slow down. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Therapy can help you step out of survival mode, make sense of what’s happening, and begin to feel grounded again.

Therapy can feel most useful when it’s honest and anchored. You may be accomplished in your work and relationships, yet still notice yourself caught in familiar roles—caretaker, problem-solver, achiever—that leave you overthinking, people-pleasing, or withdrawing. You don’t need to be in crisis to begin. Together, we'll look beyond what is happening to understand why these roles keep returning, and how they shape the way you live and relate. You’ve achieved mastery in many domains. Here, you get to drop the performance and explore what drives it.
