Life can feel overwhelming. Maybe you're constantly on edge, emotionally drained, stuck in the same painful patterns, or carrying the weight of things that happened long ago. You might find yourself overthinking, shutting down, feeling disconnected from yourself or others, or wondering why it's so hard to enjoy life. If you've been trying to get through it alone, you don't have to anymore. Therapy offers a safe place to make sense of what you're going through, heal from what's holding you back, and build a life that feels calmer, more meaningful, and more connected to yourself and your loved ones.
You don't have to stay stuck. I specialize in EMDR therapy, an approach that has helped many people heal from painful experiences, anxiety and depression and move beyond patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we'll help you let go of what's holding you back so you can feel more present, confident, and connected to the life you want.
Reaching out takes courage, and you've already taken the first step by being here. If what you've read feels familiar, we may be a good fit. Therapy doesn't have to be intimidating—we'll have honest conversations, and probably a few laughs along the way. You don't have to carry this alone anymore. Let's start moving forward together.

Despite what my title is, I currently only work with individual adults. I also have extensive training in working with trauma and this is a clinical focus of mine.

I mainly specialize in trauma and how it impacts your present day. Your past experiences shape how you view yourself and the world around you. Those experiences can make it really hard to know who you are and step into that fully. What's the story that you tell yourself about who you are and what your life means? Let's figure that out what you want to keep and what needs to be rewritten.

I draw from a lot of different ideas and therapy approaches, but at the core of all of it I feel that the most healing thing about therapy is the relationship between myself and my clients. You are sharing some vulnerable stuff. It is paramount that you feel like you won't be judged and that the person you are talking to feels like a real human.
