Hi! I imagine you are here because things are not great. Perhaps, you would like to improve or change something, or maybe you just want to feel better or more comfortable in your skin.. I know it can be scary, but I believe it’s also brave. It takes courage to admit that you would like life to be different. I believe together we can get you to a place where life isn't so hard. During my 16 year career, I have been fortunate to have met wonderful people and together we have grown. I view the therapeutic process through a person centered lens and as something we do together. I believe it is important to celebrate the small successes.

I use EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT) to help clients manage trauma, anxiety, and emotional challenges.
I believe everyone holds the strength to grow and heal, even when life feels overwhelming. You might feel constant pressure to excel at work, struggle with strained relationships, or carry the weight of past trauma. Whatever you're facing, you don't have to go through it alone.

If reaching out feels intimidating, that’s completely normal. Just take a deep breath and call me—we’ll take this step together, at your pace.
