Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply in need of a space to breathe and be heard? You don't have to carry it all alone. Whether you’re facing big life changes, navigating anxiety or depression, processing trauma, or simply longing to feel more like yourself again — therapy can offer a space for healing, clarity, and growth.
I work with adolescents and adults from all walks of life, creating a secure space to explore what matters most to you. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, PTSD, and sexual trauma. My approach is grounded in empathy and attunement, using evidence-based methods like DBT, EMDR, TF-CBT, and person-centered therapy.
I know the courage it takes to begin this journey — I've been there too. As your therapist, my role is to walk alongside you, offering compassion, curiosity, and a calm, grounded presence. If it’s meaningful for you, I can also integrate faith into our work together. We can start with a free 15-minute consultation to see if it feels like a good fit.
