Many people who find their way to my practice are carrying experiences that still feel unresolved. They may notice feeling on edge, disconnected, or caught in patterns that no longer feel helpful. If that resonates, you’re not alone. I offer a supportive, compassionate space to begin making sense of what happened, build practical tools, and feel more grounded in your daily life. Therapy with me is both safe and forward-moving. We go at a thoughtful pace while also creating clear direction. Together, we gently untangle the past, strengthen coping skills, and build a deeper sense of confidence and stability

I specialize in treating trauma-related concerns, OCD (using Exposure and Response Prevention), depression, anxiety, life transitions, burnout, and stress management. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and other evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual’s needs.

My style is warm, collaborative, and active! I deeply listen while also helping clients identify patterns, develop skills, and move toward greater confidence and stability. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences, your strengths, and what feels most important to focus on right now. Please reach out with any questions about this process.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and this first meeting is about taking those initial steps together. We'll begin identifying your goals and what meaningful change would look like for you. Just as importantly, this is your opportunity to see how it feels to work with me. A strong therapeutic fit matters, and I want you to feel comfortable, supported, and confident moving forward!
