You’ve done the best you can with the tools you have—now let’s build a few more. I’ve spent my career helping people untangle what’s really driving their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I’ve worked with people facing everything from daily stress to complex trauma. I’m certified in EMDR and am an Approved Consultant through EMDRIA, which means I also train other therapists on this approach. My goal is to empower you with skills and resources to get OUT of therapy. Through our work together, you will start to view yourself in a positive light and learn coping skills you can use in real life.
I work with adults and some teens. I love supporting women who are navigating life transitions—relationships, parenthood, pregnancy, postpartum, boundary-setting, overcoming trauma, etc. I'm a married parent and know the challenges that brings. I am an LGBTQ+ ally and have experience writing WPATH letters. I will call you by your preferred name and pronouns.
My style is warm and compassionate, yet direct when needed. I’m part old soul and part humorist—so we’ll do the hard work and still find moments to laugh. I spent 10+ years working in community mental health with vulnerable populations, so there is not much you can say I haven't heard before. To me, it is a privilege to help people heal, and grow.

We explore your goals for treatment and use that as our guidepost. As we dig into more intense material, I often end sessions with relaxation exercises to help you feel equipped to continue your day. I keep a close eye on the time and the pacing of each session so you don't have to. I frequently use EMDR, simply because I find it to be so effective.

After 17 years as a therapist, I've learned that healing doesn't follow a script. I draw from evidenced-based approaches such as EMDR, IFS, Motivational Intervening, CBT, and DBT, because treatment looks different for everyone. Deep healing happens by incorporating body-based approaches like EMDR that reach beyond traditional talk therapy.
