I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs. Whether you’re struggling with daily stress, overwhelming emotions, or the lasting impact of painful experiences, I provide a safe and supportive space to help you heal, grow, and reconnect with your strengths.
Together, we’ll work to uncover the roots of your challenges, build effective coping skills, and create lasting change. I use evidence-based approaches to guide the process and believe therapy should feel like a partnership.
As a certified EMDR therapist, I help clients reprocess painful experiences so they feel less overwhelming and more manageable. If EMDR isn’t the right fit, I also draw from ACT, CBT, DBT, and other evidence-based approaches to support growth and lasting change.
If this resonates with you, I’d love to connect and walk alongside you as you take the next step forward.
