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. Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or one-sided—I offer a genuine, authentic connection. In our sessions, you’ll find a warm, compassionate space where you can be yourself. 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.

For example, I may lean on modified CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing for neurodivergent individuals and the Gottman Method for couples.
Autism, anxiety, and couples counseling are some of my dedicated areas of training and experience, but I can also help with other concerns listed below. Many individuals hide parts of themselves that they feel others will not accept. This could include appearance, thoughts, feelings, emotions, actions, and behaviors. Experiences shape perceptions which create worldviews and sometimes navigation can be difficult. Life (usually) doesn't come with a GPS system and if you feel lost, hidden, or hopeless, you aren't alone. If you may be seeking group therapy, scroll down for information on group therapy for autistic individuals.
