Welcome! I'm glad you're here. If you're reading this, you've realized something needs to change. Maybe you're exhausted from holding everything together, stuck in old patterns, or past experiences still have a tighter grip on you than you want to admit. Whatever you're facing, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with individuals and couples dealing with stress, trauma histories, relationship challenges, life transitions, anger, neurodivergence, and more. My style is warm, direct when needed, and conversational. You deserve a therapist who shows up authentically, with empathy, curiosity, and always welcoming of humor.
I often use EMDR to help people process experiences that feel “stuck” in the mind and body. Many clients who feel tired of “just talking” find EMDR creates the deeper shift they're needing, helping emotional and behavioral patterns change in real, noticeable ways. Together, we’ll build practical skills, shift unhelpful patterns, and create meaningful change.
Depending on your goals, I also use other evidence-based approaches like ACT, DBT, Solution-Focused strategies, and Gottman couples therapy. Working with me is collaborative—we’ll identify goals, understand what’s getting in the way, and work toward a more balanced life that aligns with who you want to be. When you're ready, I'd be honored to work with you.

I work with people who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, life transitions, relationship issues, and more. Together we'll form goals, understand what's getting in the way, and work toward building a life that aligns with who you want to be. Most of my clients find more adaptive ways of navigating challenges, feel more grounded, and feel more confident when life turns upside down.
