You may know what’s holding you back, or you may feel confused and overwhelmed—wondering if something is wrong with you. Depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions can all impact your well-being. These challenges are real, and you don’t have to navigate this alone. My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and evidence-based. This means we go at your pace and work collaboratively toward your unique goals within a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe. Therapy is not just about techniques—it’s about connection, trust, and feeling genuinely understood.

My clients often begin to feel more at ease with themselves and better able to understand their emotions and patterns. They leave feeling supported, heard, and safer exploring their emotions, with coping skills that feel realistic and tailored to them. Over time, clients report increased self-compassion, confidence, and a sense of pride in their growth.

I know it can feel scary to open up to a new person—especially about personal or painful experiences. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have or to offer a free phone consultation to see if we’d be a good fit. Feel free to reach out when you’re ready!

I use cognitive behavior (DBT) and humanistic (Gestalt) approaches, tailoring methods to what helps you most. My trauma-informed practice prioritizes your safety and trust. I provide psychoeducation when appropriate to help you understand why certain emotions/thoughts occur. Because emotions are often experienced in the body, we may also incorporate attention to bodily sensations as part our work.
